It's Fedora Core for me, but I'm more of a bleeding edge kind of guy.
Great support community too.

It's been a while since I SuSEd, but doesn't it come with a very apt-like package manager these days? IIRC, someone even told me SuSE can handle apt repositories directly now.

If you're planning on doing any software development for the 770, I'd suggest sticking with Debian. It's worked great for me.
