Debian allows for a more custom-feel for stability. There's debian (stable, long-term support and not), debian (testing), debian (experimental). I'm, personally, an Archlinux user which is a rolling distro, so I tend to be more bleeding edge than most people care to be. Manjaro is an Arch derivative that is more stable, but it's also catered more to a desktop environment. CentOS is basically just 3 to 8 year old Fedora, so that might give you a more familiar environment.
