It's completely blown out of proportion. Also if you're the least bit worried about data gathering then you should go live in a cave a 1000Km from the nearest establishment simply because every device and every entity gathers information these days. In the current era privacy is just fallacy and nothing more.

What is the point of your build? Gaming? Normal house stuff? Web browsing?

I'd say Ubuntu is fine if you are new to Linux. The base install takes about 7GB of space. But then you really can't install much. 

Why is space a concern? I mean even the most low end HDD's are at least 100GB or so. Unless you take a 60GB  SSD. And 60GB is plenty for Ubuntu. Less so if you wish to game
