It really depends on what you want to do and how much you want to pay.  White Box Enterprise Linux is RHEL with all the non-open source bits removed and is free.  Solaris 10 is now free.  Solaris 10 is a true Unix; WBEL is a true Linux.  Take your pick.  There are many different opnions on the subject so, unless you havew a specific need that can only be fulfilled by one O/S or distribution, just pick one and start experimenting.

There are many many Linux distributions, some free, some not.  Go to DistroWatch to read about virtually all of them.

Sorry, but you may as well ask which is the best make of car.  You will never find a single answer.  RHEL is good and used by many businesses.  There are RH certification programmes out there, so it's a good choice for professional development.  Or, you can just go pure Unix all the way, and choose Solaris.  Or choose one of the BSDs.

See, I can't stick to a single answer!
