This is a flamewar sorta question, so I don't feel terribly bad that my
reply gets SuSE people all mad. :)

I choose Fedora because it uses all open source / free software and makes
this a priority. Based on what I've seen from SuSE, freedom is incidental to
their distribution, and they don't mind using non-free components where they
perceive extra value. That's not to say their choice is Wrong -- there's
plenty of people here using Fedora Core + the nvidia binary drivers -- but
it's not where I personally prefer to lend my own efforts.
