Which distribution kit to choose for VPS (nginx+node.js+phantom.js)?

Question

linux

Hello! I don’t understand anything in Linux, so I’ll probably say something stupid now, but the situation is this: The
stack used:

• Nginx
  
• Node.js
  
• prerender.io (server)
  
  • Node.js
    
  • npm
    
  • Phantom.js
    
  • MongoDb
    
  
  

I want to:

• The convenience of installing
  ^{apt-get and npm is better than make&&install.}
  
• Fresh software in turnips
  ^{Stability is great, but I heard that in the Debian repository, for example, the old node.js (or even not at all).}
  
• Lightweight and minimal superfluous, RAM-consuming
  ^{Apache, *SQL and PHP are not needed.}
  
• Minimum body movements
  ^{I am a designer by profession. It is very difficult to delve into all this, edit configs that do not work out of the box, etc.}
  

The choice of a hoster (infobox) offers:

1. Ubuntu 13.10
   
2. Ubuntu 12.04
   
3. CentOS 6
   
4. Debian 7.0
   
5. Suse 13.1
   

What do you advise? So far leaning towards Ubuntu 13.10 or Debian 7.0. I will be glad to any comments.
PS: If someone in share-screen mode helps to install and configure all this, I can draw something as a return service.

We make a package at home, copy and put on the server what we want
if you are not afraid (that smart and not quite people spit on it), then you can even use docker-dock so that later you don’t have to suffer with the deployment of other projects (on pohap, python, node, toad)
