Ubuntu for no other reason than it'll be the easiest to get help / find fixes for, this makes it the most sustainable as a daily driver.
I would argue for the Kubuntu spin however. I think it's a much nicer default interface, particularly for newer users trying things on.
I'd argue PopOS because it's based on Ubuntu, so you can still Google answers for "Ubuntu" and it will work fine. I've found pop to be generally cleaner and easier to use than Ubuntu.
Bonus, if you buy a system76 laptop or desktop, they'll give you (very good, knowledgeable) PopOS support for free. Seriously, their support is fantastic.

With Ubuntu, you can easily find dozens of troubleshooting articles. With PopOS, you wont have to troubleshoot in the first place!

Precisely! I've def found pop to be less janky than Ubuntu overall
