How to select Amazon Machine Image (linux distribution) to AWS EC2?

Just started with Amazon Web Services and want to start an EC2 instance. I need to select an Amazon Machine Image (linux distribution). I have almost no previous knowledge of Linux and don't know how to make my choice. Amazon recommend their own "Amazon Linux AMI", of course. Many tutorials on youtube prefer Ubuntu.

What are the pros and cons? Any reason not to choose Amazon Linux? How can I make my choice? Does it really matter what I actually choose?

I will run PHP and maybe later mySQL. I have an Amazon S3 bucket and planning to use my EC2 instance to get/put files to S3.
