I use Debian stable, so whatever the current version is (8.5 now). I tried
Ubuntu a while back and found they complicated things. Particularly for a
server, I would suggest Debian instead (for that matter I've been perfectly
content with my workstation running Debian stable, this way my development
environnement matches my servers').

Duh! my bad, this was taken from my install notes, which date from 2014; sorry
about that.
As Dominic wrote, I think you can do away with the apache2.X-common bit.

Depends on your use case. If you have to create multiple instances frequently,
maybe so, although there are configuration tools as well
(Puppet/Ansible/Chef/Salt...).
I'm too small for that, it's easier for me to just write a few basic commands
like the one I posted, and my machines last a _long_ time. Also I work with
bare metal, I haven't tested virtualized servers at all.
