I have tried many Linux distributions before, and never looked back after switching for Arch Linux. It is one of the best distributions with regard to having an up to date but still reasonably stable system. Other options are Fedora Rawhide (there's a Fedora SIG mailing list) or Debian Sid (as others mentioned, there's a Debian SIG mailing list), but I don't know how dependable those versions are.
