I use OS X as well for all my development and deploy on both windows (work) and linux (personal). Deploying on windows is kind of a pain in the ass. Django development is heavily command line biased. Maybe windows has some nice command line tools, but the defaults suck and are a total pain to use. If you go the mac route, I recommend using darwinports(now macports) to install either python2.3 or python2.4. I've never used the default os install of python, and have never had any issues with the darwinports version. It also makes it easy to install database wrappers, ldap modules, etc. Darwinports isn't as nice as say apt-get on debian/ubuntu, or FreeBSD's ports collection, but it does the job... mostly. Being able to use TextMate, LaunchBar, and a gazillion other mac specific apps is worth the pain for me. My close second choice would be Ubuntu.
