You're going to pay for support with either. Yast2 is RPM based as is Yum so package management is effectively the same. SuSE comes with a load of crap you won't want but is pretty easy to use... until Yast breaks.
To answer your question: SuSE. To give you a better solution, Ubuntu.

Fedora is free, just like any other 'free' distro... RHEL is the one with a price for support.
Fedora is almost the same as Ubuntu, and I'd actually recommend Fedora over Ubuntu if you want to learn about Linux, not just have an alternative version of windows.
