I'd rather use Ubuntu LTS but that's not a valid template with my VPS provider unfortunately. Ubuntu 11 64 bit is available and seems to work OK for now. Debian 6 had become my standard but it would seem there was an issue with Debian 6 and the hypervisor the VPS provider uses and last I heard they were waiting to hear back from their hypervisor vendor to get a fix for it.
CentOS has been problematic for me on the VPS platforms for all sorts of reasons including kernel issues within the VPS environment.
