Back when I was testing MATE versions for my own usage, I tested about a dozen different distributions. The original Linux Mint Debian Edition was the best of the bunch in regards to stability, memory usage, and overall snappiness out of the box.

Cinnamon Edition:

I didn't mention this distro though, because at the time it was an older release and I didn't know if Mint was going to do any updates in the future or if it was a dead project.
I wholeheartedly admit I'm not an expert in linux, I've only recently gotten back into it after playing with it in the 90's. Although...I do know a solid distro when I see one. If someone is looking to try out Linux Mint MATE or Cinnamon Edition...this version should be on your short list.
I'm currently using Ubuntu 15.04 because it played nice with my wireless adapter(Ralink RT3290), but I will be transferring over to LMDE 2's MATE as soon as possible.
