Agree, there are other lists for this stuff; and back to what one of
the original posters said: it doesn't matter much.

[Also not a regular poster, but I always gain something from reading
this list.]

Most people who really go into OS selection / FS selection are looking
for a cheap/silver bullet for performance. No such thing exists. The
difference made by any modern OS/FS is almost immaterial. You need to
do the slow slogging work of site/application specific optimization and
tuning; that is where you will find significant performance
improvements.
