Hi Ken,
For a production server, you'll very likely have a better experience
using RHEL. Its more stable (unchanging) than FC and it has a *much*
longer lifespan in terms of bugfixes and security updates.
At work, our group uses Fedora Core for many things including some
servers. But we're a research group and we like bleeding-edge stuff.
And we don't mind the frequent updates or the occasional glitches (eg.
why doesn't MatLAB work with this new version of the kernel or selinux
or...?) that occur.
