I choose Solaris because Joyent's SmartOS is the only way to get CPU bursting on their cloud service (my only gripe with them).

I'm not sure I understand what you said :-/

The reason we are using Solaris (aka SmartOS) is because Joyent only supports CPU bursting on Solaris.

They also offer other OS's but they don't have the burstable cores.
