If your motivation is RH is existing and Fedora is too new, I think you
are buying into FUD too much.  For me Debian or Gentoo is an easy
decision for my personal use, but I am not you ;-)

Fedora is not actually that new, and "they" seem to be doing a great job
of rolling out test releases (of the new integration) on schedule.

If you have the bandwidth, Fedora should be better with net-based
"distribution upgrades" than previous-RHs.

There is some uncertainty with the backing of some of the other chooses:
SuSE: likely being bought by Novell; SuSE took less interest in consumer
market a long time ago
Mandrake: still concerns about them balancing the books
