Use the one that you are most familiar/comfortable with and that is
supported by OpenStack deployment projects.

For example, with Kolla Ansible, at the moment, you can choose from
CentOS Stream 8, Debian Bullseye and Ubuntu 20.04 (sorted
alphabetically; all have equal support).
Soon, it will support Rocky Linux 8 as well (and then newer releases
as they start coming).
