I've had no stability problems with Fedora.  The worst experience I've
had with that distribution is that half the time the CD-burning
utilities seem to be flaky.  As for why that and not CentOS...  I like
having modern versions of all of my packages.  5 years is a long time
to get nothing but bugfixes.
