LinuxHelp reviewed Gentoo, and in spite of being a lot of work to set up, Gentoo offers something unique few other distributions are able to offer:"One thing I found unique to Gentoo was the knowledge gained by the user in the process of installing it on the hard disk. And if you are an experienced Linux user/administrator, it will be a revision time well spent."

Hardware support in Gentoo should be pretty close to every other distro. Most of the drivers are provided in kernel, so same kernel version, same drivers.
For separate non-kernel packages, usually portage is very up to date and is only marked ~arch since it has been tested enough. Using is as simple as unmasking.
