This is just my personal opinion and im not saying this is the correct answer. This is my answer...
Best distro overall of 2014? Arch Linux. The distro's affinity for clean and clear scripts on top of the way you build your system never ceases to teach me new things all the time.
Best distro for the new user of 2014? Mint. Clean and simple package management.
Best distro for business servers of 2014? CentOS 7. It is very well polished, rock stable, and dead simple Windows Active Directory integration.
I lub Linux =B
