Hi, Red Hat does have a text install. You type a command like:

text speakup_synth=synth

where synth is the name of your synth.
The problem most have is they must absolutely select the speakup keymap
during the install or the install will not talk vary well at all.
As for what Linux is best that ends up a users choice. Red Hat is vary
popular because it has good hardware detection, is the easiest Linux to
setup, has a large list of packages, and is becoming an industry standard.
However, some users love editing files, getting into the guts of there Linux
os, Debian  and Slakware seam to apeal to those users.
If you are like me and don't want to customize everything under the sun Red
hat will apeal to you. If you are one who likes to do everything from the
ground up, edit configurations, and customize to your hearts  desire, then
debian or Slack may be a better choice.
