I would tend use Fedora for development, but would consider CentOS (or RHEL, if we had the budget) for production - I avoid Ubuntu like the plague.
I happen to be doing my own research on this matter. I tend to lean more toward RHEL or CentOS for production servers just because there seem to be more people using it in that capacity and it seem to be easier to get solid support or advice for those. But I prefer Ubuntu for my laptop mainly because of the size of the community, available PPAs, ease of administration, etc...
Ultimately, it seem to come down to what you are most familiar/comfortable managing. I don't see much practical difference between the distributions other than the versions of various software that they ship with by default. But that is usually rather easy to change according to your needs anyway.
I've seen the opinion of "avoid Ubuntu like the plague" expressed many times, but it is never followed up with any solid reasoning. Can you (or anyone else) give specific details on exactly why you believe Ubuntu should be avoided?
