---- If you had to pick one UNIX-like OS, what would it be?

For desktop I'm almost exclusively Mac OS X now (which is BSD style Unix with a nice GUI) and for servers I tend to try and stick with Debian.

As jeffatrackaid states, the choice is more about what you need to do rather than which is the "better" OS. They all have their pro's and cons.

I do think there's value in sticking with one though - you get to know it inside out. That's the only reason I stick with Debian for servers - it's what I started on and got used to. It wasn't a strategic choice, but now I'd find it hard to switch.
