From what I've read comparing major distros, Gentoo is good if you need to squeeze out every bit of performance on a system since it compiles everything. Or for an embedded system where you need to customize a lot of options during compilation. For a standard sever or desktop where you don't want to tinker much, I wouldn't recommend it.
Some say it's also a good learning OS for Linux because of all the compiling required. I'd say
Linux From Scratch would be for that kind of learning, especially if you're new to it. It comes with a fantastic guide that tells you what to do and why you're doing it.
