Why?

Gentoo for if you have a lot of free time on your hands (read unemployed)

Ubuntu if you want a fully functioning OS quickly, and need to get work done (read employed)

i generally dislike linux because what fpbp mentioned - normal employed people dont have time to fiddle with it when it fucks up for no reason.
i find ubuntu very cancerous though. i tried mint as well. i can recommend linux manjaro, its like arch without all the configuration fuckery. it worked surprisingly well for me and its even without some problems i had on ubunt and mint (horrible screen tearing, lack of vsync basically).

This, plus the fact that Ubuntu is still breddy free wrt Windows and MacOS.

Gentoo is either for hobby or for when you need an extremely high performance environment for some very VERY dedicated application

I have a few questions, sir.
What DE/WM do you use with Wayland?
Is Wayland worth using over X11?
And does it have noticeably better performance?

I'm using weston currently, but I hate to use mouse to much, will switch to sway or velox.
If you have Nvidia card, use GNOME, as far as I know Gnome supports nvidia + wayland.
Wayland is worth usint, you dont need user-space driver anymore, goodbye 200mb of trash.
I use only 1mb large driver (driver for intel).
It looks faster, uses less ram, very smooth.
It's noticeable.
In glmark Wayland (weston) about 2-3 times faster than xorg (dwm).

If you need to ask, the answer is Ubuntu.
