Ubuntu server, FreeBsd, or OpenBsd. Openbsd has the least support but is by far the fastest and most secure. FreeBsd is pretty secure, generally faster then Ubuntu, and has a lot more support then OpenBsd. Ubuntu server will run freaking anything.

It is unix, just as reliable, and free software. In most server recorces it is considered a distro.

Absolutely anything BSD, for highly specialized systems where the risk of having to run something unsupported is low. But with traditional servers that's most often not the case. Which is why I'd say Ubuntu server as a first choice.
