In our case it is 3rd party support that made us go with Red Hat 8.

If you have devices that will be running on the host, then you want to
make sure that you have the kernel module that go with them.
If for example you have frame grabbers, then you want corresponding
vendor to have QAed the hardware on this linux platform. Ultimately you
want them to support it as well.
Red Hat is a sure bet.
I suspect that any of the major distributions can do the job. It would
seem to make the most sense for us to go with the flavor of Linux with
the largest user base in the EPICS community.
