Default What distro suits my needs?

I am Looking for the following:

Stability - Fedora like stability (I have NEVER had fedora crash on me)

Usability - Ubuntu like Usability (aka gnome lol)

Built in LUKS Encryption (Ubuntu alternative CD NEVER works for me.)

Support for Broadcom or Alpha wifi cards.

Is there a fedora Spin that has support for Broadcom or Alpha? The normal one won't connect to my SSID (WPA2 AES CCMP Hidden SSID).

Any help would be appreciated

Desktop friendly, will support your broadcom card, stable and usable. I'm not sure about the LUKS encryption though.

Another thing (I should have mentioned in my FP) that has never worked for me. I can't see my SSID (Hidden) and trying to connect fails. (I hate broadcom ) My alpha half worked (only ever saw 2 AP's even though its a high gain and high range antenna) i will try it again.
