My favorite server distro gotta be ubuntu, there are few reasons unlike centos it changes enought quickly that you can be fairly certien newer changes will be applied whether that is kernel or software(underlying os should be fairly fluid and updated whenever possible in my opinion which goes against what most server admins say but i have my own opinion) which brings performance improvments and security. But reality is nowdays OS is just a piece of that story containers are a thing with docker at forefront, where i will use ubuntu as well but depending on your application you could use your own rootfs image, alpine or any other rootfs image and it comes down to preference and subjsctivity
