Use what you know and like.
For me, that's Linux.  I haven't used Solaris since version 9.
I've heard that 10 is good, but for me there's no reason to look back.

Not trying to start arguments, Just want to understand how others making
their decisions ?

For me, I think Solaris 10 has following technical advantages over
linux(RH)
camp
1. Dtrace to help on problem finding.
2. Faster TCP/IP stack(rewrote and improved in Solaris 10).
3. Very rock solid stable.
4. Commercial support avaiable from Sun if needed.
5. Solarish has no  OS seat-license(RH Linux has it).

Thanks for your time
