I use nagios on Ubuntu both 10.04 and 8.04. I recommend installing from source as it is much more stable and works better with the plugins etc. than the default Ubuntu package.
Other than that since you look to be monitoring lots of windows hosts i would suggest checking out wmi which was not too difficult to install on Ubuntu 10.04LTS.
