Do you run a GUI on your server? (KDE, GNome...etc)

I've set up stuff in the past using Xvfb, x11vnc and fluxbox. Ran a few automated browsers and such. Bind to localhost and ssh with a reverse tunnel.

No. Just bare Debian, then I install the very strict minimum I need.
When I am lazy, I turn ON Webmin.

Nope, waste of RAM.

I run XFCE on two VPS. Took a while to set up. Accessed via Remmina.
Within a short time I began accessing the servers via SSH to root and home, using tools such as Kate and Gimp with file managers and Terminals. I almost never access the servers via Remmina now but the GUI is there if I get desperate.

No, not a full GUI. It increases the attack surface and means more maintenance.
I have run GUI apps and run them over ssh using the X server on my desktop. Not done that for a while though.
