For flashing your tablet it doesn't really matter what you choose. But the advantage of popular distros like Ubuntu are the newbie-friendlyness and large communities, so chances that you find anwers for problems are bigger in their forums. Also popular distros tend to have bigger repositories. That means you don't need to install untrusted binaries and possibly break something.
