Well, for what it's worth, I'm fairly agnostic about the distro used, more interested in its stability. Alpine is Debian-based, I think and very popular as a minimalistic based for containers. I prefer the Red Hat world myself, but can live with either. Nominally Ceph is a Red Hat product, and that's about the only other factor I can think of.
