Since the requirement is for a 0 day attack, I'm guessing Ubuntu. It's been the least tested in the wild, and vulnerabilities in it are worth less than the other two to gray hats.
that's interesting, you think a linux distro will be hacked quicker than a windows box.

time will tell, but my money is on windows folding the fastest.

I always pick the underdog.

With that kind of cash and cred on the line, it may depend on who gets to go first.
