    I've never run Arch itself but have been super happy with Manjaro. They do the testing and batch up the updates for you. 6 months in on several different machines with no issues at all, honestly better than any Debian based desktop I've run.

    Almost anything I've ever wanted has been in either the main repo or AUR, no more hassle with stale versions of this or that when I want to run some hot new software of the week. Everything just works.

    However as mentioned elsewhere it's all Debian all the time for my servers, where stability is the name of the game.

    My experience with Manjaro was okayish for a lot of things, but if I wanted to try some new software, it was a coin toss to see if it would compile or not, and I don't have the expertise to track down why something didn't compile. I got fed up with it recently when something I wanted to install...didn't compile. I went to the effort of backing up my computer, missed a few minor folders, and migrated to Mint.
