I have the choice between Centos and windows server 2008 to deploy as a mercurial server.
I am pretty confident with both operating systems, although probably a little more with windows.
For this question assume I am equally confident with both Operating systems.
Which should I use with regard to ease of maintenance, stability and backups?
Or is there just no difference?

The one you're most comfortable with.
There's no point in installing CentOS / Windows if you've never used it and lose hours on configuration and other problems.

I would prefer the linux server. But you could use SCM-Manager, then it is very easy on Windows and Linux.

I'd go with CentOS simply to avoid the licensing fee. Plus it's just as easy to setup and configure as a Windows server if you know what you are doing.
