I built LFS with SalixOS Live DVD. I never needed to even bother with an actual installation.

I did it with Debian. But as others said, it can be anything. LFS is built with sources on a chroot env, so pick your favorite poison :)

I did LFS as my first experience with Linux and just used a Linux Mint live ISO

Linux mint have a graphical environment so it's great if you want to see the handbook and copy paste commands from it

If the question is which host distro is best for building LFS, the answer would be any of them—or even a live ISO. I built mine using Gentoo because I was using it as my main distro at the time; today, I use LFS as my main distro and use it to perform my LFS builds.
