If you want more optimisation then Gentoo is a good choice.
i use gentoo and they even had a pd ebuild [i think it's been masked now, so it won't work- too hard to keep up with the releases i'd guess].
i like it and would recommend it. but you'll need to know something about your hardware, and how software works with it to get the most out of it.
also, i'd echo what yves said earlier- 'trust the source, luke'. to get good audio on linux you're going to have to understand a lot of it yourself. this is probably a mostly good thing, and you can get awesome audio- but it takes work.
