If you're new and don't like the idea of SSH or terminal style commands and editing... then the Windows GUI is the way to go.
All those OS' you listed would be suitable for running game servers. If you're running a very large server then you're going to want to stay with the default rates to lower your CPU usage so really you don't need any fancy kernel modifications so really it wont matter what OS you choose.
Also as Mike stated. A VPS is never a good option for a popular / well running srcds game server. It may work better for other game servers types, but not srcds.
