I'm doing a very informal and unscientific poll: which kernel do you use on your CentOS machines? Not which version of the CentOS kernel, but which repository. Here are some examples I can think of off the top of my head:

stock, latest available. But it doesn't fully support my Dell Latitude E6530 hardware (webcam and some Dell Fn keys), so I'm interested in your poll!
I almost always use the latest stock kernel, with one memorable exception.
I had a laptop which would not boot until I unplugged it and removed the battery. The reason was a faulty mouse driver, and the fix was to remove the mouse driver module prior to shutdown. The problem was that the mouse driver was compiled into the kernel. So I used the SRPM, changed the option to install the mouse driver as a module and recompiled. Following the directions on the Centos wiki was pretty easy.
