I'm biased toward
Linux from Scratch. I use that a starting point for my homegrown, heavily-customized system. Every single component is built from source (Acrobat Reader and Flash are among the few exceptions) and tweaked for my CPU. Plus the kernel is light, comprised of only the features and drivers that I have on my platform.

I’ve explored Linux From Scratch, but it’s been several years. Has it gotten any easier?

I tried LFS a few years back. I must have missed something in the process as I didn’t get it to work. Went back to debian, but might try again at LFS.
I use my linux machine as a test server, nothing too radical.
