IMO, there's more important things to choose an OS based on. Especially since Python and Ruby are both well-supported on all of the unices.

Find an OS that makes you happy. Like the Mac interface? Go OS X. Like tiling window managers, and automatic package management? Go linux.

FWIW, I use Ubuntu 10.04.

This guy has a good point. I'm using FreeBSD 8.1 at the moment. I push my app up to a git repository and then pull it down to Linux(debian) to test it and it works. My friend pulls it down to a Mac and it works.
