Opt for alternatives that don't rely on systemd or older packages. Choose modern distributions tailored to your needs.
I agree with @Dat Guy but I'm less critical about it. Systemd has been problematic for Linux. Pen testing isn't about the distribution. Feel free to choose what you like. (Mac OS is actually honest about this.) If you're aiming to look cool, just use whatever's in the newest Mr. Robot episode. Stickers are also a great way to display your skills.
