That's a tough one. For once, what determines if a distro works for you or not is your level of proficiency...Granted, if you're thinking a deploying Net Services (i.e Web, Samba, et al...), then you're pass the "newbie" stage...
In my case, I like a barebone-no-nonsense distro, with everything I need and nothing I don't. So far, Slackware is the only one that fits the bill for me...

Ok it will be setup as a server, no GUI, nothing that's not needed. It will server these purposes: Samba server (just in the internal network) Web server (one site external a few internal sites) NFS Server (internal network only) MySQL server (internal network only)
The smallest space footprint would be best.
I would like the software to be quite stable and tested (IE. not MySQL 5 or apache2 (where its only security patches and not new features)) I don't much like RPM distros but if that's the best option that's what I'll use. I'd like a good package management system. I won't be installing source code. ( I want to keep with the packages to easily keep track of everything.)
I been thinking about Debian or FreeBSD.
what do you guys thing would be the best option (Please post other distros if you think they are better)?

P.S. Sorry I just cant think today.
