There's not much that Subversion cannot run on. In the environment where I work, we currently have everything running on Mac OS X. We actively working on migrating to Red Hat RHEL 5 as part of an over all company effort to reduce the number of supported platforms.
My advice, look at folks who supplying binaries like CollabNet or WanDisco. See which platforms they regularly supply binaries and packages for. That should help you narrow down the list of 'best' platforms unless you want to take on the responsibility of compiling and packing your own Subversion binaries. If you planning subscribing for support with folks like CollabNet or WanDisco, then you may want to stick to their packages binaries.

I have a few ideas, but haven't been able to find anything "written down" online.
