I'm running a test system on a Raspberry Pi using Rapsbian. Raspbian is basically just Debian for the Raspberry Pi.

Debian is stable, updates slowly and carefully (a plus here) and has lots of packages available.

I don't think it really matters much which distro you use, Mystic should run on most of them without any issue but I prefer distro's which are widely used and "standard".

The other thing that is good about choosing Debian, is if you run into trouble you've got other Debian users who can help you.
