Pros
Pro Part of the Ubuntu family
Being based on Ubuntu (which itself is based on Debian), there's a good amount of information and support to be found when searching for it, both on Lubuntu specifically and Ubuntu that also applies to Lubuntu. It also means that there are certain security and usability standards enforced and you can use Ubuntu .deb packages.

It's been a very good experience. I use mostly older hardware so I chose a lightweight OS. I've used releases from 10.04 to my current version 18.04 LTS
