Let your system administrator choose the distribution kit that is more convenient for him.
You, as someone who does not understand anything, should not care.

Choose what is more convenient for you to manage.
PS .. In general, you listed exactly one operating system. All this is Linux. Only different distributions

Ubuntu-Debian - debian family
Fedora-CentOS-RedHat - redhat family
CoreOS - container family, in any case you will have to install someone from the previous families on it
If you have no experience, then it is better to choose one family and study
it "convenience", "speed" of each of the families is impossible in any case.

if you are setting up a server for the first time, debian or ubuntu is better, it's simply simpler.

If you are planning to use some kind of management system (Ispmanager, Vesta, ...), then pay attention to the supported OS.

The more you know, then choose. And here people are unlikely to help, those who work on CentOS will praise it, those on Debian will accordingly advise it

Debian would be the best option.
Although there are no comrades for the taste and color :)
