Officially, RPC supports both Balmung and Gilgamesh.
As mentionned, none of the servers are physically located in Europe (the non-japanese one is in Montreal) so lag will be the same everywhere. There used o be just the one in Japan, but on June 6th, a second one in Montreal was announced.
Refer to this Lodestone thread.
It's true that some are "recommended for EU" but this recommendation probably exists only to put a label for europeans to congregate (much like how we put RP labels on Balm and Gilg, I guess).
It mostly just depends whether having pre-established characters from 1.0 around bothers you or appeals to you.
