For enterprisey stuff, I might consider RHEL or SLES, but I find generally they ship versions if things too out of date for my needs.

CentOS doesn't merely emulate RHEL, it is RHEL. Basically, they rebuild the packages, with all the branding changed, and the restricted features taken out. Even before they were taken over by RedHat. Check Section 9 of the CentOS 7 release notes: wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNot...

When I was building SANs, I used SLES, but mostly because of SuSE Studio.
