Yocto is the recommended distribution for most applications since it contains all of the packages and patches to support accelerated X11 drivers, OpenGLES 1&2, GStreamer acceleration, as well as patches to QT to support using these accelerations.  Yocto also provides a set of cross toolchains that match the deployed environment which allow development in QT Creator, Eclilpse, and more.  While the cross toolchains are a big upside, this distribution does not have automated updates (like apt-get or yum) and is not ideal for projects concerned with security updates.
