I recommend Debian Linux - you can always freely upgrade to a newer version with one command (and without reinstallation). Red Hat has the problem that after some years the installed version isn't supported anymore (at least as far as I know). And you would save the money for software licenses (even if they doesn't seem that expensive on the first look). It would be interesting to know what software exactly have been used on the server (proprietary software?) so it could be an easy adjustment (Apache, PHP ... are easily adjustable.
