I've been using Arch on my PCs for the past few monthes, and I like it a lot. As I do not consider myself proficient enough to go through the standard Arch installation, I used the overwhelming Chakra Live CD. Basically, you end up with a standard Arch installation, complete with the mirrors already setup, KDE 4 from their kdemod repositories (the best KDE 4 implementation out there, IMHO), plus some bonus apps such as Shaman (QT4 frontend to pacman) or Chase (update notifier based on KDE's latest notification system).
Arch is always up to date, with usually no more than a few days between any application upstream new version and package upgrade. The Arch wiki is also a fantastic source of information for anything you need.
Arch is an excellent choice for competent linux users !
Smart move !
