I prefer CentOS (or RedHat for corporate use) over Ubuntu but that's mostly because I'm more familiar with how the OS does stuff, either CentOS or Ubuntu would be fine.

For updates you should be able to setup a "cron job" to run security updates once a day (that'll vary depending on the OS but there should be tons of tutorials on how to do that on the Internet). I'm not actually sure what port the package managers use, I assume it's 443 but I'm not 100% positive on that.

I'm not sure I understand how it's interacting with users.. i.e. why it has an FTP server on it and how different users will be accessing it.

Is it FTP because you want people to access their home folders remotely over the Internet? And you want them to authenticate with their Active Directory accounts? If that's the case wouldn't a Windows server be easier?
