What OS are y'all using if you're not using this for XBMC. I'm looking for a general purpose OS, is Rasbian the goto?

It really depends on what the power situation is, what are you using to get the thing powered? To continue, the usb connections on the Pi can only support 100ma or less of current which is why people suggest using *powered* usb hubs if you want to use devices that require more power. The back of any device should have a power rating, if I look at the stuff I've used I can see my mouse requires 5v/100ma (perfect). Cell phone chargers tend to suck if they are off-brand or below spec, they need to supply at least 5v/700ma of power. If you aren't supplying at least that (and it's clean, I've seen a few different "5v" adapters that waver between 4-8v). Honestly though, it really could just be a bad board unless you've been ignoring the above concepts.

Could also get a usb battery charger that just sits inline with the power, like power the charger from the wall, power the rPi from the charger. Theoretically it would never need to shut down.
