I have found XFCE in Ubuntu Studio to work really well. I have used 
other distros with XFCE and they were nowhere near as good as the way it 
is implemented in Ubuntu Studio.

I have tried Unity and did not like it, although it might work really 
well on a tablet PC. If you like Gnome 2, then you can always try MATE 
which is a continuation of that but more up to date. Gnome 3 Shell is 
not much good, you get hardly anything on the desktop and it is really 
hard to do anything. But there is a version of Gnome 3 called Cinnamon 
which works really well.

If you are new to Linux or Ubuntu in general, then the default XFCE is 
worth trying out first, and there is no need to install another desktop 
as it can still run Gnome apps without installing the Gnome desktop.
