I would say they are just different, not better or worse, though if
you like a GUI package management tool, nothing beats "synaptic"
on the ubuntu/debian family (I tend to prefer the command line
tools since I use ssh to get to most systems and don't want
to fool with remote X display, so for me it doesn't matter
much if I use yum versus apt-get or rpm versus dpkg - it is
just a question of sorting out all the command line options).

idea to install it in VirtualBox first, so you can play with linux &
windows at the same time, and make the transition easier.

The OP can also try out the live media for the three distros. I
personally think live media is the least hassle free way to see what
one is getting into before actual installation.

Both are equally good; it's like asking if chocolate is better than
vanilla. And, most things you're going to install will be available in
both forms. If you're looking for a highly secured distribution (or,
"distro") Fedora is one good choice, as it includes SELinux: "Security
Enhanced Linux."
I agree with all of the above and try live CDs and going with .rpm side.
