In retrospect, I wish I had done 8 of the ubuntu servers as freebsd.
I use the following in my home setup: 16 ubuntu machines, 3 OpenBSD machines, 1 freebsd, 8 centos (one headnode, 7 diskless compute nodes) 2 osx, 1 windows (oops-two; wife's laptop). Several of these are old recycled boxes, but every one of these has a job. In retrospect, I wish I had done 8 of the ubuntu servers as freebsd.

1. What are you using them all for?
2. Vertical or horizontal?

Fedora 11 for me on my Laptop, Snow Leopard + Windows 7 on Desktop
out of curiosity, why Fedora?
* Close to upstream, for early access to packaged software,
* Security is a primary concern: SELinux by default, Firewall by default, PolicyKit, Exec-Shield, Compile Time Buffer Checks, ELF Data Hardening, Restricted Kernel Memory Access, Stack Smash Protection, Buffer Overflow Detection, Variable Reordering, etc.
* Complete transparency of the distribution (including open sourcing all software they create for their internal processes),
* I prefer PackageKit/yum/rpm,
* They contribute heavily to upstream, as part of their process,
* They drive the development of a lot of the software other distributions use (NetworkManager, D-Bus, PolicyKit, PackageKit, ConsoleKit, HAL, SELinux policy, PulseAudio, etc.).
Those are some things that come to mind.
