I see a lot of Ubuntu Server deployments for LAMP stack (probably more now then RH/CentOS/).
As already asked, it's what you plan to run on the server that is more important. How to plan to install it (e.g. via source, or by package management)? RH/CentOS is very behind in many LAMP products and the associated dependencies via package management, while Ubuntu is much more up to date. Then you have to consider the skills. If you generally have RH skills in house, then moving may serve little purpose from the admin side, however there are only minor differences for experienced resources.
