Stable for most servers, testing for my workstation.
I know a lot of people seem to like Ubuntu, but they still have yet to convince me they can really think like a server distro [whereas I've friends who've been bitten by how they don't]
Am planning to delve into Devuan now that they've had a couple of releases...
I have used Debian and CentOS for servers. Some how I feel CentOS is better than Debian when it comes to servers. CentOS tries to emulate some of RedHat capabilities too. You can give it a try and you are right about Ubuntu definitely not a choice for running in servers so much bloatware.
For enterprisey stuff, I might consider RHEL or SLES, but I find generally they ship versions if things too out of date for my needs.
CentOS doesn't merely emulate RHEL, it is RHEL. Basically, they rebuild the packages, with all the branding changed, and the restricted features taken out. Even before they were taken over by RedHat. Check Section 9 of the CentOS 7 release notes: wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNot...
When I was building SANs, I used SLES, but mostly because of SuSE Studio.
