Zero reasons to avoid CentOS itself. It's a perfectly good server OS for
whatever your needs. Unless you have a RHEL license, then of course you
should use the Enterprise version you're paying for. What should be avoided
is using the default PostgreSQL package that 7 (or even 8) comes with. 7 is
still all the way back at 9.2, which has long gone out of support. For all
RHEL related releases (CentOS, Fedora, Oracle, etc),  use the PGDG
repositories which contain up to date versions of PG for all of them.
