    It depends on your (or server administrator's) skills and knowledge. I am satisfied with Debian (not in your list) and Gentoo.

    Our server administrator loves CENT OS. He said Free BSD sucks.

    CentOS 4 is the most popular. It does not really matter, CentOS 5 is just newer. My host told me to stay with CentOS 4.
