 From a 'use' perspective you end up with pretty much the same 
applications with just some slight version differences that leapfrog 
each other based on the respective release dates.

The differences are in installation and administration procedures. 
Ubuntu has some funding that goes to improve the user experience and 
their policy permits coordination with repositories holding the 
additional packages you are likely to want, so overall it is likely to 
be easier for an unbiased user to install and maintain a system.

On the other hand, RHEL and its clones are the most popular server 
distributions and fedora shares much of same the administration 
procedures.  So if you already maintain RH-style servers or are using 
Linux to learn those techniques but want a desktop distro instead, 
fedora might be a better fit.
