For a personal setup; Ubuntu Server is an awesome minimal distribution. They have everything you need and a huge community backing the distro. If you intend on maintaining it yourself without support, Ubuntu is the way to go.
Also, worst case scenario, where you get lost in the terminal and need a GUI (not me, I'm too manly for GUI), you can convert your server into a desktop with "apt install ubuntu-desktop^" or vice versa with "apt install ubuntu-server;apt remove ubuntu-desktop;apt autoremove"
For a Business setup; Red Hat. RHEL was first to business and they've been dealing with enterprise level issues for a long time now. They have excellent support, understand business needs, and if you need it and if everything fails, you can point the finger at them.
