Hello, i agree that what matters is ability of your staff to maintain the OS rather than OS it self.
But maybe there can be a factor speaking for Linux - availability of a good MONITORING FACILITY. I think that it is not good enough to have a sim run 60 days, your sim must automatically reboot in case of troubles! We have very good experiences with Monit: http://coyled.com/2010/07/07/monit-and-opensim/ in this area. It is able to restart sim in case of many troubles like is crash, 0 FPS error, too much memory used or enormous CPU usage. Additionally i think that it is good to restart (issue shutdown command on console) the sim every 2 days to get rid all memory leaks or other performance thiefs. I am not sure if there is similar monitoring facility available for Windows.
