They've all got SSH.
Rule out Fedora. Add CentOS to the list.
What panel are you going to use? Which do they support and recommend? I'd ask what you're most comfortable with, but I'm guessing the answer is "none of 'em."

Debian is very fun
CentOS is also a good choice, like dzeanah said choose the one thats most compatible with what you're going to run on the server (like control panels, etc)

They all have SSH, unless you de-install it, or don't install the crypto packages.
Ditch Fedora and any other RedHat product too.
You should pick FreeBSD or Debian.AppliedOperations - Premium Service

You should use whichever distro that you're more comfortable administrating.

I agree with jayjay. You should go with the one you know best - at least until you learn another one equally well.
That said and limiting choices to your list, FreeBSD or Debian Linux. Properly installed and admined either will do fine as a server.
As sated earlier, SSH should be availalable for/on anyof them unless you chose not to install it."Obsolesence is just a lack of imagination."

FreeBSD all the way, unless you are more comfortable with Linux

I personally prefer FreeBSD, however it is Unix not Linux.

FreeBSD is a much cleaner and more stable OS, but you'll have an easier time finding support for Linux. Out of those, Debian is probably what you want, but also consider CentOS.
