Hard to work out what to suggest - what's your expected load going to be? 
Any telco cards? etc.

If you want support from Dell, then it's RHEL whatever...

Personally, if I had that hardware, I'd load up Debian Etch, compile up a 
custom kernel for it, compile up the latest asterisk (rather than use the 
Debian package), and just get on with it.

Hyperthreading shouldn't be an issue with a relatively recent kernel (it 
doesn't appear to be for me, but my load is relatively light on the HT 
processor I'm using - 2-300 calls a day at most right now) and if you 
don't like HT, you can always turn it off.
