You'll want to use a Debian flavored and a RHEL flavored Distro, as the exam touches on both.
I would recommend Ubuntu (Debian based) and CENTOS (RHEL based).
Depending on your experience with Linux, I also highly recommend:
Books: CompTIA Linux+ Exam LX0-101 and Exam LX0-102; Linux in a Nutshell 7th ed

I am using:
Debian 7
CentOS 6.4
for my preparations. That way you are covering both package management flavours as mentioned above. -
