Ubuntu is more user-friendly plus there's already scratchbox environments pre-made using ubuntu. However if you don't mind working with command line and getting things to work, etc. Debian may also suit you.

Linux Mint is the one I'm currently recommending. Personally, I'd favour the Linux Mint Debian Edition because I actually use Mepis which is Debin based and compatible. As is LMDE.

It will be a bit of a pain getting the deb repositories for the Maemo SDK working with it though. Doesn't mean you couldn't get the SDK running on it, it'll just be more hassle to set up than a Debian/Ubuntu based distro.

For this one thing, they may work the same... Overally though, ubutnut sucks... Use Debian.
With no doubt, Debian is the best OS.
Things like Ubuntu are Debian's children, with a layer/layers of crap on them, which sometimes make them totally different.
Fedora and Ubuntu are out there, so that Red Hat and Debian would get better... So I suggest you don't use them at all.
I saw something about SELinux... Actually, I'm using that too... Those are things you can add to any distro which has a new kernel. But you can't change the basic architecture of a distro.

In Fedora SELinux really works.
