Best linux to run on mac (Parallels)?

I've got a macbook which I'm thinking of putting a linux distro onto, mainly to play around with but I've found it useful in the past to have to run the odd little bit of code on.

Anyone got any opinions on the best version to run? Also wondering if anyone has run it on Parallels.

    i'd say ubuntu, debian, fedora or opensuse.

    i have run the first 3 using virtualbox and they all run fine.

    Thanks, I think I'll give ubuntu a go and see how that works.
