Fedora 19 is a good one, and Fedora 20 is shaping up to be
even better.

F14 worked pretty nicely for me. The last one with Gnome 2.x I reckon. F15
was a shock with Gnome 3.0 clearly not ready for prime time. Since F17, I
found Fedora to be incrementally better. F19 is rock solid at the moment.
Hoping for this trend to continue for F20.

I second that, used Fedup from F18 to F19 and the whole process was
faultless.

I too would advise you to jump straight to F19.
