I prefer to develop on Fedora. By the time the code is ready to deliver to the customer, the RHEL production baseline has caught up. My current project at work runs on Ubuntu as a platform for kubernetes/kafka/Spring/React/redux. It's serviceable. Long ago, I used a Debian baseline for my deployed embedded systems. Debian changes very slowly and is very stable. Updating OS patches on a board in a box on a moving rail car is challenging.

I agree with your assessment. All are good choices over “dorm room Linux”.
