Debian (the latest one without systemd, I believe 7). When the support for debian without systemd ends, debian will get out, NetBSD will get in.
You might want to give Alpine Linux a go. I use it on almost all my machines. (Have 1 machine with Ubuntu 16.04 for games)
It uses musl-libc and not glibc. systemd is very reliant on glibc specific features, so systemd will never work on musl-libc based distro's.
It also sheds a good amount of bloat by not using glibc. It is the way to go for older / less powerful CPUs.
You get the advantage of good hardware support from the Linux kernel, while user space should be on par with NetBSD or likely even better.

There is a beauty in the simplicity of Alpine IMHO.

In this book http://www.agner.org/optimize/microarchitecture.pdf about x86 code optimization there are info about some Atom CPU which can't do memory operations out-of-order. (From http://www.agner.org/optimize/ )
Thanks for the link. It is very interesting info.
