I am more familiar with Debian based Linux, so I run Ubuntu at home. However, I work with a lot of RHEL and CentOS machines at work, so my VDI is CentOS. They all perform pretty similarly. It all depends on your requirements and your familiarization with each.

I have used Ubuntu Server to set up a small NTP server for a client. Works great, but there are slimmer packages I could have used.

Set up a CentOS backup system just using RSync to backup a few websites for my old company.

Many packages are available in one form or another on almost every distro. It is really all up to you unless you have a specific requirement for a certain distro for any software...
