Can anyone recommend the best distro of Linux for using as my main Bitcoin machine?
Depends if it's going to be used as anything else really? Otherwise keep it small and simple. DSL or Arch will do.
Are you running it from a Live CD? If so and you want to use more than basic features try something with greater out of the box driver support like Ubuntu/Debian.

You don't have to encrypt your wallet, but if you don't, you'd best be very careful nobody else grabs hold of your wallet.dat or any medium storing it. If your live system is somehow infected with keylogger-equipped bitcoin-stealing malware, the encryption will not protect you anyway.
Wallet encryption is nonetheless very much advisable - just make sure not to forget the password, else the funds are gone!
