Tony, One thing that you need to keep in mind with the question as well. All distro's are thoroughly tested and sometimes custom compiled. That isn't necessarily bad but it means that whatever you get out of the box isn't new. As mentioned you can go with bleeding edge (opensuse, fedora, etc) but do you want to run bleeding edge in production. OTOH you can choose something like suse or RH but it goes back to the out of date issue.
We personally run RHEL 4 (for no other reason than that's what we know) and we don't use the include packages but rather download SA (and dependencies) from CPAN. So, my answer is pick a distro you are comfortable with and just install the tools you need for that. Otherwise if you pick a distro that you are unfamiliar with then you'll need to retrain yourself on it (or hope the default is just secure enough for you).
