My dev laptop and one of my servers crashed frequently on Ubuntu 16.04/16.10/17.04/17.10. The problem with the laptop was the iGPU (kabylake) and the server had a problem with Ubuntu's kernel/nouveau package combined with Geforce 710 (GK208-301-A1). Both systems was not easy to debug as there was not any useful errors in system logs and crashes happened randomly. Both systems ran without problems on Fedora. These are experiences from the past year.
I still have Ubuntu and Arch systems, that probably won't change in the next few years. It's a lot of overhead to learn and remember all the different application interfaces, but then again I also use OS X (with gawk/gsed/...) and Open/Free BSD from time to time. When I'm retired I'm going to write an application/shell that maps a universal command interface to the OS specific commands.
