If deployment on a linux host is likely (much faster than windows for ruby, and price is cheaper anyway) then it would certainly make sense to get a grip on linux by making it your dev platform. But it is a lot of work to learn linux administration.
It might be better to try a linux host within their tryout period and just see if you really need to learn linux to make a success of such a strategy: I suspect not. If clients are depending on you, though, I would go with what you know best.
