The reason I love Gentoo/FreeBSD is that I compile almost every software package I need. This means I can automatically put flags into the compiler to optimize it to my system, thus resulting in an overall faster server. I do like Debian-based distros too, especially Ubuntu. I can't say much about RHEL (I haven't used often), or CentOS. I use Fedora Core 1 on one of my servers and it performs okay, but from what I've read the later versions didn't do so well, however I'm not sure about that.
