As per the title - how soon do the 'main' distributions tend to offer ready made upgrades to the latest (currently 2.6.18) kernel? ... and having asked that which of Mandriva, Ubuntu and Suse is likely to offer it first?
2.6.18 is already part of Debian unstable. It's unlikely to ever make an actual stable release though. I don't know how fast any of the other distros add things.
Being lazy I'd prefer not to have to compile my own kernel though I have done it before.
What are you hoping to get from tracking the most recent kernel if you're just using distro provided kernels? Do you have an unsupported device or some bug you're hitting?
