Cassandra prod environment

Hey, Currently I'm running Cassandra on Ubuntu 10.4 x86_64 in EC2. I'm wondering if anyone observed a better performance / stability on other distros ( CentOS / RHEL / ...) or OS (eg. Solaris intel/SPARC) ? Is anyone running prod on VMs, not cloud, but ESXi or Solaris zones ? Is there love
