I'd say it sort of depends what you want to use it for.
I use Linux for many things, most software development related, but I still have a Windows 7 machine too.
As for distributions, I use exclusively Ubuntu. But I hear good things about Mint as well. I'd probably stick to one or the other of those.
If you want to play around with it, you can even get some Linux distros on a CD and you can just boot from that, rather than installing anything. I'd recommend Knoppix.

Install VirtualBox. This will let you install any Linux distro you like, Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, CentOS, Fedora, Arch, etc etc. It also supports other operating systems like Windows. That way you can play around and see which one you prefer.
