I have a bunch of disconnected thoughts

Trisquel if you are very strict about freedom. You might need to change a wireless card or other hardware.
Just pick one and get started. Don't overthink it. Ignore anyone (like /u/NewMemba) who tries to sell.you a One True Religion argument. quot homines, tot sententiae
Mint is very friendly, and is the most popular
Zorin is also very friendly
Definitely Qubes if security is your priority
If you've used Ubuntu, you'll be familiar with it, which is an advantage. They had a controversy including Amazon products in their search results, but that was temporary and has been resolved, so ignore anyone who's still butthurt about it.
If you're using a cheap or old computer (under 4GB or RAM), you'll need a lightweight distro. You probably don't have to go as light as Puppy Linux, but something like Lubuntu or Xubuntu
