What distro for server

What distro for server

I want to setup a Linux Server on Win7 / Virtual Box for developmet/testing (LAMP, JavaScript). I am gonna need the following programs installed:

MySQL
Imagemagic
Mencoder
Ffmpeg
Flvtool
Qt-faststart
Ioncube loader
PHP

I know that choice comes down to:

Centos
Fedora
Debian
Red Hat
Ubuntu (somebody told me not to get this one because root is disabled by default, and that it can be changed but it is not recommended)

I also need to figure out if I need to connect from Win7 to Virtual Box Linux through something like Putty within the same computer. I read somewhere that I need two separate computers or a network card for something like that.

Thank you.
