I would place a large amount of your decision in the support that each company provides. I work in a very large enterprise environment and the only Linux distribution that we can use is RedHat.
I would look at the amount of production type of support they will provide. Compare their SLA's. Compare the levels of support. In an enterprise environment, many times support issues need to be escalated to back-line engineers. How does Ubuntu handle this? I know that RH develops code and uses it in their releases. Does Ubuntu do this? Or, do they wait for the updates from the community and package them in to their release?
With that in mind, you need to consider your needs. Not only the needs of the application developers and support. But what happens when that box goes down. When does it have to be back on-line? How much $$$ is at stake?
For us, Ubuntu isn't even on the map. It may be different for you.

pthread_equal

PTHREAD_EQUAL(3)					     Linux Programmer's Manual						  PTHREAD_EQUAL(3)

NAME

       pthread_equal - compare thread IDs

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pthread.h>

       int pthread_equal(pthread_t t1, pthread_t t2);

       Compile and link with -pthread.

DESCRIPTION

       The pthread_equal() function compares two thread identifiers.

RETURN VALUE

       If the two thread IDs are equal, pthread_equal() returns a nonzero value; otherwise, it returns 0.

ERRORS

       This function always succeeds.

ATTRIBUTES

       For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).

       +----------------+---------------+---------+
       |Interface	| Attribute	| Value   |
       +----------------+---------------+---------+
       |pthread_equal() | Thread safety | MT-Safe |
       +----------------+---------------+---------+
CONFORMING TO

       POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.

NOTES

       The  pthread_equal()  function  is  necessary  because thread IDs should be considered opaque: there is no portable way for applications to
       directly compare two pthread_t values.
