Linux will generally outperform Solaris in many CPU related benchmarks, all other things equal. Not sure about network interface performance. Networking performance has always been a weaker area in Linux. Regardless, both will work just fine.
Normally there are other concerns more important than raw hardware performance, including: training, existing skill sets, requirements for commercial support and other corporate factors. The ultimate decision should take into consideration the human, support and sustainability factors and weigh them appropriately.
