It's more about your skill set and familiarity than whether any one of
those will work well enough.

If you're considering Ubuntu, you should be looking at debian, the
parent distro for ubuntu. The server version of debian is very stable
and reliable.

As for cost, Debian and Ubuntu are free, and RedHat is available for
free as either Centos or White Box, with slightly delayed updates.

I lean towards RHEL because that's what I know.

No matter what you pick, you need to test it with your setup of course.
