We use Unix sytems (HP and IBM) for all our major database systems, TSM servers, etc. So, my opinion is obviously in favor or the AIX system. But . . . . If they have little to no Unix experience then I'd be worried about the learning curve to managing a Unix system, and, the long term problems of maintaining that knowledge. I think your report should address these issues. It's not "hard", but it will requirement a committment from management to plan and allow for this.
