On a fresh install only CentOS repositories are installed, and only a
subset of those ([base] [updates] [extras]) is enabled. Only you can
determine if you need 3rd party repos and if so which.
If you need help determining which repos fit your needs, beyond the
information on the Wiki repositories pages and links supplied there,
then ask on this list or other support venues, such as IRC or fora. The
better you can explain what you need, and why core packages do not meet
those needs, the better advice you might expect as to what 3rd party
repos and packages may fulfill your requirements.
