Number one Unix and Linux do alot of the same things. So why in heck would you mix them.
Pick a key distro/distros of linux install it across the servers(a max of 2 different base types anymore to hard and one is taken out if you are running windows) Ie Debian based distos can be moved to a common core not a problem. In some cases even Redhat and Mandrake can be common cored to Debian(note it is harder than picking a Debian based one). Now having a common core setup mean one lot of downloads spread accross all servers so it can be proxyed reducing internet useage.
Now root access can be made verry hard by installing lids. Note standard Linux security is not at max only after few add on it reachs it max.
Basicly getting to root is pointless without lids approval because you cannot do anything basicly two layers have to be defeated.
