Both. They are variations on a theme:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu#Official_distributions
"Ubuntu has a server edition[113][114] that uses the same APT
repositories as the Ubuntu Desktop Edition. The differences between them
are the absence of an X Window environment in a default installation of
the server edition (although one can easily be installed, including
Unity, GNOME, KDE or Xfce), and some alterations to the installation
process.[115] The server edition uses a screen-mode, character-based
interface for the installation, instead of a graphical installation
process. This enables installation on machines with a serial or "dumb
terminal" interface without graphics support. "
2. It depends on whether you keep the GUI in Oracle APEX. If so then
yes, as APEX and tomcat and ORDS are free and need only the basic
license for the Oracle DB. Otherwise if a free/low cost low code
tool/framework is found then they can be abolished.
Alright, that opens it up a bit. Right off the top of my head I can't
come with a replacement.
Thank you for your response!

Folks with more experience using both would have to comment in
detail on
that. My comments would be, I have used openSUSE and Ubuntu(Server) for
small installations with no issues either way. I do like the ability to
jump from LTS(Long Term Support) to LTS version in Ubuntu, bypassing
all
the intermediate releases.

Are you looking to retain the Tomcat+ORDS portion of the stack?
