Lots of distros, not so many screenreaders though. Orca is the main
graphical one and speakup is the main console one. I think there is one
other cli one too... Oh and brltty is for your braille display is what I
use and has some basic speech support...
You need a braille display for the speech though.

Probably ubuntu, but debian has orca in aptitude. If you aren't a braille
user speech in a text console is slightly more complicated.
I recommend you get console speech so if gnome crashes you can fix it
easily...
If your not up to the task of patching your own kernel mail me off list
and I'll give you a deb file which will install a 2.6.23 kernel with
speakup if you like... (if you are using debian or ubuntu)

Well orca of course for the graphical stuff, speakup if you like for the
console and lsr, I heard about it, but not sure how development is going
with it...
Orca will install a whole bunch of stuff so make sure you have a couple
hundred mb or perhaps 1 gb for your linux install, gnome and your
screenreader...
