Linux-libre by a landslide. The GNU Hurd is not suitable for general use.

Linux-libre, without a doubt. Hurd mostly works in virtual machines at the moment, not real hardware.

Yes, but I don't mention it because it's Arch and Arch isn't on the FSF's list of endorsed distros. GuixSD is the only FSF-endorsed distro with Hurd.

AFAIK Debian Hurd and Arch Hurd are separate projects from Debian and Arch (GNU/) Linux, so they haven't been reviewed by the FSF at all.

"The DDE environment allows for reusing half of the Linux 2.6.32 network device drivers, and experimental support for SATA devices was added in May 2013. On the other side, support for character devices (like sound cards) and other hardware (USB, multicore) is mostly missing."

Only Debian comes out of the box with Hurd?
