If it's straight up HTML with no need for .ASP Support or anything of that sort -- Linux/*nix is the way to go in my opinion. The only time I see a need for Windows hosting is if they are in dire need of .ASP NET support or some other Windows only product. The reliability of *nix servers in my past has just helped me recommend Linux over Windows as a server if basic features (HTML, PHP, CGI, etc.) are just needed.
