I'd choose Centos or RHEL5, especially for bigger servers when BSD just
doesn't scale. Better to have code that is stable and has backported
fixes than random stuff on a big server box. Each to his own - nowt wrong
with FreeBSD, and OpenBSD is neat for building small tightly locked down
appliances even if some of the contributors are ermm fun to deal with.

I'd also add

11, If you must have idjits running around installing php toys on your box
virtualise them into a safe corner of their own so they can't mess up
anyone else.
