I'd suggest Funtoo, if you haven't reviewed it already. Start here:

Many reviews I read form their opinion of a distro based on how easy the install
process is. If that is your plan, don't bother. The install takes a while, and
you probably won't really appreciate the distro until you have used it for a
while.
