I use Microsoft Windows with IIS, PHP 5 and MySQL 5 for my main development/test environment and I have no problems with it, although having a virtual machine with FreeBSD, Apache et al. on for additional testing is nice. :)
"Support" is a relative term, since MediaWiki sets out loose requirements. Your web server needs to be able to handle PHP, and PHP as installed needs session support, the PCRE libraries, and MySQL support, so your choices are going to be dictated in part by the OS and personal preferences. Obviously if you were going to be coding things like Oracle or PostgreSQL support, you'd want PHP configured and plugged in to work with those too.

I know I'm going to get tarred and feathered here, but is ILS supported as the webserver?
I think my Microsoft bias is showing. Anyway, I'll see how I go.
