Which OS and file system did you choose?

I recently did similar with an old server and Freenas, but I am still not sure if I have a safe (enough) system overall. I chose RAIDZ2 with 4 4TB WD Red drives, ECC RAM, seems to be working well so far.

FreeNas with ZFS, RAIDZ2, 6 x 4TB WD Red, 16 GB ECC RAM.

System has been running a year now without any bigger maintenance.
