Hm, I am not 100% sure, but I was of the opinion that there is the netbook remix and there is also a special edition for MIDs:
http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile
Optimized for small screens like on the n810 with special interface, but not for our kind of processors. Now that those processors (yes, I forgot the name A-something) are supported too, wouldn't the Ubuntu MID version be a good idea for the n810? Perhaps also less laggy?
Or am I mixing up things here? could easily be, it's hard to keep up with all the stuff happening!

For a good OS with lightweight and finger friendly UI, I would say, wait until Mer 0.11 will be released, (it's a week or something?)

It's a mix between the maemo OS and Ubuntu (based off of the next release Jaunty). It uses the Hildon interface
I'm frankly confused with the amount of various Ubuntu ports going on here. o.O

I fully agree, it is hard to keep track.
In your opinion, what is the one project that has the most promising future? Will it be possible to get a lag-free Ubuntu derivate on the n810?

Regarding "lag free": It's not the distro (Ubuntu or Debian) that's laggy, its the desktop environment. I suggest LXDE as your desktop if you want lag free. It is an adequate desktop, responsive on the tablet, but without the screenshot-worthy bells and whistles of Gnome. You can install LXDE on any of the bootable alternatives right now.
