Personally, I stick to CentOS / RedHat for any server installation. Ubuntu/Debian is fine as well. I'd stay away from Gentoo and to a more package based server, unless you have a dedicated server admin (just from the overhead of maintenance). I just have never had luck with the dependency management of APT when installing bleading-edge (latest release) stable packages... But plenty of people have, so it's a fine alternative. More, it's personal preference. Do you prefer the debian approach? Do you prefer the RedHat approach? Go with what you're comfortable with...
