I think for a non-techie ex-windows user you're much better off with one of either Ubuntu or Kubuntu if you're going for an Ubuntu variant. The problem with either of Lubuntu or Xubuntu is that they don't always work the same as Ubuntu and thus you often have to 'read between the lines' when looking for support as menus, applications, etc. aren't exactly as they are in main-line Ubuntu.
As my 'soon to be ex XP-user' is a friend, I thought I might suggest the same distro as the one I'm using. That way, when the phone rings, I know exactly which icon to tell them to click.
