If YOU are going to support the box, go with what you know best/find
easiest.

If there is stiff resistance, go with something with the name, like,
sigh, RedHat.

If you have a very specific job in mind, then ask on the list for
people's experience with distro's and apps, e.g. network monitor, etc.
It is usually the apps you want to know, rather than the distro,
