Dear Charu,
Go with RHEL 6.2. HP DL380 G6 is very good server.
In choosing for Linux kernel, you can choos anyone later from RHEL 5.5 for this hardware.
I will say choos RHEL 6.2, and enjoy the flavour, I am loving it ...:-)

Dear Charu,
What kind of application do you want to run on this machine?
Oracle for example does not yet support RHEL 6.x atleast not that I know.
I would go for the latest release that is supported for your machine and software. Most of the time the ISV is leading.
Kind regards,
