Our new servers are all running Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS. This was chosen because it's free, it's fairly mainstream, and it's supported for security updates for 5 years between major releases (after which you can update in-place to a new major release).
An unexpected benefit of this system is that it supports BTRFS. This was something new to me, but it turns out to offer a simple way to recover a system in the event of a disastrous update, and to recover lost files in the event of the user deleting them by mistake.
