Default Building a new server with a VM. OS & Resources?

Hi everyone! I got an old server to play with and wanted to do a VM for EQEMU to run a server for my friend and I. I've never done this before so I had some questions if you could help me out.

Server specs:
HP Proliant DL360 Gen6 running Proxmox
2x Intel Xeon X5670 2.93 GHz CPUs (12C/24T total)
64 GB ram
2x 500 GB 7200 RPM HDDs, hardware RAID 1

1) Which OS should I use to run the server? I was leaning Fedora as I have the most experience with that.

2) What resources should I allocate for the VM? I figure not a ton as a server for 2 people probably won't use much, but I have no real idea what it needs.

3) Any other general advice for a first-timer? Thanks!
