Debian. Without a doubt.

I'd second that - why on earth did you think that your choices were limited to 
Fedora or SuSE? Debian is the best distribution for a server bar none. 
Nothing comes close in stability, uptime, upgrades and security.

What else do you need from a server? It has to do what you want, all the time, 
automatically upgrade without damaging stability and automatically install 
appropriate security updates without any intervention. Debian is the only 
distribution that even remotely covers all these needs.
