Remember that your tightest constraint is admin skills and time; having a highly standardized system for deployment will save you _vast_ amounts of scarce time, and any deployment automation you can use will make for vastly more reliable systems deployment. Consider Debian as both an operating system and a deployment system: at the moment, different machines run different operating system flavours, making sysadminning harder.
Keep recommending Debian. I won't complain.
