debian can be used with sysvinit, runit, or openrc. another good option is gentoo. yes im seriously recommending gentoo for a server. i have a few friends that use gentoo for their server os and they all say its great. its very stable as long as you stick to the amd64 branch instead of ~amd64. if you dont want to get into the kernel stuff you can easily use a -bin kernel.
I've been considering gentoo since I used it on a chromebook. I like the binary packages but I worry about stuff that isn't because the hardware is getting pretty old. I mighy try it if I replace it though.
