Both are really good with the deskpart support and the one really big diffrence ihave noticed is that Red Hat likes to use Gnome as it's default GUI while SuSE usally goes with KDE. I think they are both equal in the desktop part though so it will be up to personal oppenion

Better yet, you could use this (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/).
