I have to stand up for Debian, because I'm a fan.  Debian stable, and
even testing, are perfect server environments.  Ubuntu was designed
strictly for the user's desktop.  You have to be careful which .deb
files you use in Ubuntu, because mixing and matching Debian .debs and
Ubuntu .debs can lead to nightmares.

I've been running PHP, MySQL, and Apache, all from .debs, on a Debian
stable system, for about 3.5 years now, with no complaints.  This
summer, I'm switching to testing, because it's that stable.  Ubuntu is
a pretty desktop toy (which I'm using right now as I type this e-mail
on my laptop), but I would never use it on a server.
