I would first try to just get each server to run on one physical box, that will cut down on power, and space in a data center. (That is if I understood how you have your current setup as, one box per game server). You can run more than one game server on a physical server. It just depends on how powerful your system is to determine just how many game servers can run.
As far as Linux vs. Windows, it just depends on how good you are in Linux or Windows. I would personally go with which ever you are able to get around in like Alec said. I find windows to be easier, but Linux to be more fun and interesting. Just make sure you know how to fix Linux is something does go wrong.
