It depends entirely on what the server is expected to do.
If you are looking for a stable and secure platform for services that are to be exposed to the internet you may choose one platform, if you are looking for something that easily integrates with a windows environment and has lots of pretty widgets for administration you may choose another.
A great deal of it comes down to the personal taste of the administrator, what type of package management system (RPM, Deb, Pkg, etc) he prefers, and what type of start up scriptsdirectory structures he's confortable with.
Ultimately most of the major linux distributions have something unique and desirable to offer (otherwise they wouldn't be around for too long).
One other thing that may influence the decision is the need for commercial applications, you are more likely to use one of the "big box" flavors if you need Oracle or other business software support.
Finally, it depends on the size of the support staff at the company in question and how heavily they will need to lean on the support (or lack thereof) provided by the software distributor.

can u install other windows manager such as Enlightment, IceWM, or Fluxbox (lighter than Xfce, KDE, or Gnome IMO) in this Ubuntu server?

Best thing about Linux is that you can practically run it on anything. To comfortably fetch up websites and files using say Ubuntu linux, you should probably look for something equivalent to a later model Intel P3 or AMD Athlon (hopefully in the 1GHz range), 512MB or more RAM (you can comfortably run Ubuntu with 256MB, but for web server usage, you'll probably want more than that), and a good deal of hard disk space. A gigabit ethernet NIC is recommended, but you can do fine with a standard 10/100 NIC.
I'd suggest going on eBay or browsing through your local classified adverts, and finding a used comptuer and then simply install some extra hard drives into it. I reckon you can build a very speedy and reliable server for less than $250 total!

I doubt you have any good reason to switch (i.e. someone said you should but you don't understand why). I doubt you know what would happen if you switched. I also doubt you asked godaddy how to do it.
