Go for the MBA with Linux (use the stock bootloader).

I've got a dual booted Mac OS / Linux MBA and it's the best of both worlds.

Currently, my Windows has been stored into a virtual image and the only way I run it is on my Linux PC with QEMU-KVM.

In terms of build quality and robustness, the MBA is by far the best I've ever seen - and you can configure it on Linux by adding gestures, fine-tuning the trackpad etc. since it's been around for some time already.

MacBook Pros are cool as well if u plan on installing Linux on it. ;)
