I use Ubuntu daily, and also for servers for the most part. I've got a couple of CentOS servers and Debian ones lying round.

I use Ubuntu because it's easy to get on with. Debian can be an interesting game to get things installed if there's funny dependencies, but Ubuntu seems to have resolved that. I also find using the desktop and server versions mean I don't have to remember two sets of commands (apt vs yum vs whatever) or locations to update things (like whether Apache is /etc/apache2 or /etc/httpd)
