Hi, since you're more familiar and probably faster with Ubuntu go with it,
if a necessity comes up you'll change it later.

I personally prefer CentOS.

Whatever Distros you chose use Chef, so on your local you'll be able to use
Vagrant to create a development environment with the same configuration as
in production.
