Hi,

if you're asking what distro maintains xmonad packages (the best), I 
count on Arch.

They update all official 'xmonad' packages frequently, because their 
haskell packages themselves also are updated quite often (could be once, 
twice a week). – Alternatively you can make your own local xmonad build, 
independent from the distro. And sure, you also have to decide which 
compiler to use. I highly recommend consulting the wikis from both Arch 
Linux and Xmonad.
