Really depends on your use case.
Unraid is wonderful and easy to use. But really has two reasons to use it:Unraid Array fits your file storage strategy. (few writes, mainly reads)You want an EZ way to get into docker and use the unraid appstore.
Other than that, you can probably find everything on Debian or Ubuntu. (I prefer Debian for services)
You can add one more:
Proxmox and then run a Debian VM for docker, for example, and compartmentalize other things you may want to run.
Also, download a mem test utility and run it overnight to test your hardware.
