OS doesnt realy matter, either debian or ubuntu, just take the latest supported version: GitHub - hestiacp/hestiacp: Hestia Control Panel | A lightweight and powerful control panel for the modern web.
Switch parameters to no, for what you dont want to install as you already did. If you search for performance, probaly a nginx only system would make sense (set --apache no) but you’ll loose .htaccess functionality (which will get replaced by custom templates).
Easiest way: Give it a try and test it out.
