Not really no.I got nothing against Ubuntu but neither do I have anything against 2012. Just comes down to preference really and what services you want to run. Some I'd say run arguably run better on unix then they do on windows.

Ubuntu is free as are most of the applications is uses. I would think you would want to use Ubuntu Server vice the Desktop variant for your needs.

Another option would be to use FreeNAS (http://web.freenas.org/for-home/) as it supports all of your desired features as well.
