Debian or Ubuntu. If RH, then RH itself or CloudLinux. I woulnd't use any of these new CentOS clone until at least they have been in the public and in production by other users for a while. You shouldn't trust that easily a new OS even if is a clone.

I don't see any difference between the new clones vs Centos.
They are all replicas other than the Secure Boot on RL vs AL.

I would say rocky linux.
Curious, why?
My feeling is because RL is more community centric than AL and people are more confident about this type of structure other than having a company behind it.
You can see that all the activity RL channels have.
I see AL more like Oracle Linux and RL more like Debian.
Most hosting companies themselves seem to be favoring AlmaLinux because of CloudLinux but it looks like majority of their customers are siding with RocklyLinux.

I know most here are more Debian oriented, but Rocky Linux 8.4 is out.
Any plans on using RL in production?
No, after the CentOS thing happened, we switched to Ubuntu, which is working out just fine; we see no reason to switch again to a new distro that has not been battle tested yet and whose support for various software (or the lack thereof) is unclear
I like Debian, but I'm more comfortable with RH clones because I'm more used to it.
I believe both distributions will find their space just as Debian and Ubuntu did.

I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.
