mostly up to date packages, incredibly stable, and you basically choose what desktop you want during install (or if you install via a live CD, just download the one that you want for your desktop environment, but then I couldn't find a liveCD snapshot of Stretch, and had to upgrade after install.
But in my opinion Debian is still the best Distro (I always ended up going back to it)
antergos maybe?? ex-cinnarchwooooops looks like i need to buy some glasses
i really want to give a try to debian testing too, so +1 for it
Either that or if you don't mind the occasional weirdness, just go full on Debian Unstable, it's generally more stable than Ubuntu is, and yet you get shiny new packages all the time. You can always install via the 'non-free' live disk and it'll install Debian Stable with all the nvidia/fglrx drivers you could want, and then you can carve out some stuff and upgrade to Testing / Unstable if you wish.
There are a few other distros that try the 'Debian, with latest desktop stuff' which was ubuntu's initial goal before they started doing their own thing. My experience with them has been long, and they usually end up screwing something up and becoming unstable, or end up going away.
