If you are equally proficient with all OSes and have no preference, you might
want to choose a UNIX-like OS, because many hook script examples will be
written assuming that is what you are running. Some may be written in Bash, for
example. If you are proficient in writing scripts for windows (batch scripts,
or perl, ruby, php, python, etc.) and you feel confident in your ability to
translate a Bash script into another language for use on Windows, or if you
don't plan to use hook scripts, then using Windows should be no problem.
Hooks are not necessarily scripts.
If you're not comfortable in writing scripts at all, you can use your
favorite programming environment an write the hook "scripts" there.
In my department we have a couple of hooks written in C#, and we serve
our repository through Apache on Windows 2008.
(Of cause these hooks are revision controlled in the svn-repository itself).
So, to sum up the last couple of post, use the environment you and your
company are most comfortable with.
