I prefer Linux. So, I would've to say: Use Linux.

But, it seems to me you're asking which distribution you should go
with?! If you want to live on the bleeding edge you may try
Debian/unstable or Redhat Rawhide. They should have fairly the latest
software packages available. If not, you're free to install all the
needed software / libraries from source...
