I work with Gentoo, Debian, Red Hat 4, Red Hat 5, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and a
couple of minor distros (mainly ones used to create VM appliances) at work all
the time.  It's always easiest to get things working properly in Debian, but
the performance difference on identical hardware is worth the tiny bit more
effort of Gentoo when squeezing all the performance you can out of a production
cluster.
Red Hat is just unweildy & nasty.. not to mention icky & clunky.
