If you are looking for a pc/laptop image, I'd recommend Ubuntu or Fedora, if you want a server distro I'd recommend RedHat

Go for Red Hat!! Its the best
Red Hat, along with Suse, are the corporate standards for servers, however my personal preference is Debian - I prefer the stability to the fuzzy gui.
What your personal 'best' is, however, depends on your comfort level between those systems. If it's Ubuntu, then that's great, but I'd recommend using what ever you are most comfortable with so you're more comfortable performing the steps required of system hardening, and then the continued process of securing, updating, and monitoring.
You should look into the BSD's: FreeBSD and OpenBSD in particular. Especially cause you are looking for a server.
