Questions Arch can be answered by the almighty Arch Wiki:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unity
Based on that, I'd stay, Stick with Ubuntu if Unity is your desktop environment of choice.
Arch is not a "download and take it for a spin over the weekend" type of distro. Installing it will take you a day or 2 working carefully step-by-step from this guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_Guide

Hello All
I use PUIAS Linux as my 'lifeboat' OS for when Precise beta is playing up.
PUIAS belongs to the RHEL/CentOS/Scientific Linux group, so its conservative with older packages. The PUIAS repositories have maths oriented software that I find useful and I can use Epel/Elrepo for drivers and multimedia.
PUIAS is provided for use by University departments and has paid packager time. Not sure what the support lifetime is however.

True, but IMHO a "shortcut" like ArchBang or Chakra won't really help you decide "is Arch right for me?" like working methodically through the Beginner's Guide. Test-driving an attractive Openbox or KDE live CD will not teach you about pacman, rc.conf, AUR, rolling release upgrades, and so forth, which IMHO are Arch's "killer features."
Some people take one look at the Beginner's Guide and instantly know whether Arch is right or wrong for them.
