There is no "right" answer to this.

For a Postgres server though I would probably not go for Fedora or
Ubuntu as they are more desktop oriented and have frequent updates and
relatively short life cycles.  If I were to recommend anything I would
suggest CentOS - or even RHEL if you need enterprise level
support/certification.
