If I were going for a fresh install I would start from Ubuntu Server, and
add only what I needed.

Personally, my backend is headless so a desktop distro is a waste.

As far as another distro is concerned, I'd say no... stick with an Ubuntu
derivative... the PPA packages are solid, and I can't speak to other
distros, but I can't imagine their packages are better than whats in the
Mythbuntu PPA (which isn't going anywhere).
