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.
