This is always a hot topic of discussion, but at the end of the day, most will probably agree that the latest 1.3.x of Apache and latest 4.x of PHP is the most stable.  I've also had good luck with PHP 5.x, but there's a lot of new code in there, so it's just not as mature as 4.x.

I'd of course go with Linux or FreeBSD, and a UNIX will almost always be more efficient that a Windows.  That said, there are a lot of people deploying very large systems on Windows, and it does work fine.  If you have the system administration know how in house, go with a UNIX.
