AIX vs Linux lpar

Anyone got a ring to throw into whether or not it's best to run Linux or 
AIX in an lpar on a System i to run TSM?
Linux sounds nice because of that word "free" that keeps floating around. 
And, in theory, any script kiddie can download it and run it at home, thus 
flooding the market with Linux talent.
Not really sure how much it would cost to add an AIX lpar to a 570-7748 
iSeries (software wise - I realize there will be considerations for RAID 
controllers, etc).

Of course the real question is:  Is AIX that much more reliable to run TSM 
on than Linux?
