If you're migrating from Windows, you might want to start with something easier than Arch/Manjaro.
Kubuntu is surprisingly fast compared to Ubuntu.
Sabayon is probably a better solution than Manjaro though, since it's much easier but you get a lot of the same benefits.

CentOs or Scientific Linux
If it's good enough for CERN and Fortune 100 companies, it's good enough for you.

If you love breaking things and fixing them every week, you'll love Arch, but for the real world, it's useless.

As for starting Linux, use Ubuntu or Mint to start out. Use Arch in a VirtualBox first until you are comfortable with it.

Also, as an Arch person: Don't use Manjaro. They may be based on Arch but they lag behind by days to months and just because we have the Arch User Repository and some of that works on Manjaro as well, don't expect everything to work. Arch has a huge wiki, as well as an active and helpful community on both reddit and IRC.

As for RedHat / CentOS / Scientific Linux: That stuff is great for servers, but SELinux (which is by default activated) is a big hindrance in learning Linux. Thus, not recommended as the first Linux you touch.
