There is a tremendous difference between managing your own server and purchasing a shared hosting plan from a webhost. You may not have the access required to install the PHP extension, so it's much safer and easier to go with a Linux plan from the start.
Of course, if you're administering your own server, feel free to do whatever you're most comfortable with.
