ubuntu server edition has many (if not all) advantages of debian plus a better kernel etc. from the beginning... so it might be even slightly better.

agreed. for game servers the most recent (stable) versions are usually the best.

I have different opinion of advising you Debian and CentOS.. Well as you see it's all about personal preferences.

CentOS is the dumbest choice. It requires a hell of a configuration job to make it even run servers smooth, and it's kernel is not up to date at all.
