Kind of small and limited as there are others out there that are pretty good:
Linux Mint
PClinuxOS
Mandriva 2008
Mepis Linux
they are missing out on some good ones

I think you can add entries to the list, which is probably why they only added three.

you should add those to the list, I was kind of hoping people would add items to the list and rank them, to make my choice easier.

I've tried my hand at slackware and found it to be a little unuser friendly

+1 for Arch.
Really, though, it's hard to rate which distros are "best" since many of them serve specific needs. You could probably say which is "best for new users who have no intention to learn", "best for new users who like to learn", "best for whatever" and so on
