In general, you're probably best off running whatever OS you're most
comfortable with.
As for hardware, until recently, AMD was the un-disputed king when it
came to running PostgreSQL (and databases in general). But the newer
Intel CPUs seem to have surpassed the Opteron. I believe there's a
tweakers.net article floating around that did some performance
testing with the new CPUs.
