FreeBSD for security and stability
Windows and Linux - for a server you want hacked on a weekly basis.
It is toss up as to which server is more insecure. I would say Windows gets hacked more, but when Linux fucks up the code tree, they fuck it up real good (kernel exploits, ping gets broken, they finally fixed the max 2GB file size limit, etc etc).
Do a google search for Linux Root Kit or Linux Exploit: Results 1 - 10 of about 2,150,000
Do a google search for FreeBSD exploit: 1 - 10 of about 264,000
The Linux code base is a free for all, with little or no supervision, whereas FreeBSD is maintained by the core group that approves and disapproves all tree changes and direction of the project.
This is based upon years of experience, not wild ass assumptions.
