I think PCLinuxOS is more widely in use outside of the US

You have to consider your usage/habits.

I suspect that implicit but unstated in your above was the intent for
use as a desktop OS.

If all you're talking about is one desktop computer then you can pretty
much change at will.

If you are talking about a corporate infrastructure with a certain
amount of investment in scripted/automated installation/configuration
then the predictability of a RHEL (or clone) and Fedora (or respin)
provide a much welcomed commonality.
