Very difficult to answer this for you. It all depends on your needs and experience. If you're used to working with Windows Server and don't need anything Linux specific than just use Windows. Same goes for the other way around.

If you don't a lot of experience in setting up servers I suggest a debian based Linux distro. (Ubuntu, Debian) These have plent of articles and support on the internet on how to setup a simple webserver.

Well, as for the windows set-up I think you are asking the wrong question. It really doesn't matter what version Windows OS your running, but the version of IIS, which is windows web server. I think the the only supported versions currently is v7, v7.5 and lastly v8. Here is a nice getting started guide for IIS7.

Plain and simple though, if you have never installed, configured and maintained a server, then it will be one heck of a learning curve either way. If you do have some experience with web servers, then stick with what you are comfortable with. It can get pretty bummpy, so be patient with yourself. It also will depend on your hosting providor, too and that is a whole other talk within itself, but phalcon is supported by quite a few.

Good luck!

Just a note, been happy with DigitalOcean's documents and service. They have articles up on how to install just about anything on Linux, including Phalcon
