IMHO SuSE + Apt4rpm is the better bet... I've never really had good luck with Mandrake from experience, and I find YaST to be one of the most stable and easiest to use configuration editors out there. The initial conversion to apt4rpm can be a pain, but once the kinks are worked out it makes package management far easier than YOU, etc.
(recommendation: Install only the bare-bones system with YaST, then install the GUI stuff and extras with apt4rpm- it'll go much smoother!)
Also, with SuSE you can d/l the live cd and let them try it out to see what they think before you do anything to their system. Very handy ;)
