I would stick with AIX as the #1 Choice just because the combo of hardware and OS are unbeatable for this kind of thing. I've seen Windows Servers Choke on half the amounts of data I move every day, and I have yet to even use more than 1% of my proc, or use the swap space on my AIX box. Second from that would be Linux (because I don't know Solaris).
I would avoid Windows.
