I love Linux personally! I've been rebuilding computers for almost 10 years, so I've seen most of the operating systems. Linux is very nice once you get it "dialed in". I use a program that won't work in Wine, though, so I'm tied to Windows on my one PC. Windows 7 is a delight to use, though.
My computer for eBay is running a 250GB hard drive, and 4GB of RAM. I'm just running a Core 2 Duo. It keeps pace, but I'd like to drop in a Core 2 Quad one of these days.
Are you doing anything else with the machine? I keep a couple of light games on there, and they run fine. Everyone loves Solitaire!
Do you have a budget? That'll determine what you should go with.
