I would not bother with '98 if XP is an option. If it is a windows shop then go with that, but if it is OS agnostic, and you or ANOTHER will be admining it, then my choice would be a *nix variant as it is less likely to have some nasty RPC bug and easier to admin remotely. This assume good *nix knowledge. Apart from that the performance will be roughly the same, I say roughly as you do not need to run a truck load of stuff on a DB server in *nix land, so there is more resource available for apps, but I doubt your app will stress a modern machine that much.
