Comparing across distros is hard because they will have different
qemu/kernel versions. Ubuntu 12.02, for example, uses an older kernel &
older qemu version than Arch, or Fedora 22/23. I think the generalization
"newer has better performance and fewer bugs" is true here.

Not that I'm aware of. I'm of the opinion that using virt-manager is
simpler and less error prone than authoring your own qemu launch script
(custom launch script & virt-manager being the 2 paths to configuration),
but neither is distribution-dependent.
