Hi
Firstly, both Fedora/Centos and Ubuntu will support your environment
requirements, the preference for beginners is ubuntu/fedora, my
preference is also Ubuntu mainly due to supportability, for those who
understand its debian anyway.
Ubuntu 12 is Debian Squeeze highly stable and lightweight, ubuntu and
fedora or both suitable platforms, and both have there merrits, the only
obivous limit is Fedora -> Centos -> RHEL (now spend some money!!)
I would stick with Ubuntu (and server) 12.04 or 12.10 LTS (Long Term
Support) is ideal and simple, my daugther of 11 supports her own ubuntu
LAMP running her eShop.
Ubuntu on AWS is excellent, I am using on 65 node autoscalling web
platform which all runs ubuntu 12.10 Server LTS. Never fails (well only
when AWS messes up).
BTW, Suse is another options, but I wouldnt bother really.

From personal experience, ubuntu is big pile o' crap :(
Never worked good on neither of my computers.
Fedora is oriented at new users too, and it comes with gnome 3 instead
of that 'unity';

For beginners, good suggestion would be Ubuntu, comes with
