Red Hat went far too long between releases and it is clear to me that I can't possibly rely on CentOS for timeliness.
Timeliness, dunno. Ubuntu (or fedora) for production? NOT IF I HAVE ANY CONTROL!!! Given how many developers write incredibly fragile code, that is utterly dependent upon a very, very special environment, I guarantee that the almost daily updates will break it, or the New Features!
I've been running Ubuntu boxes (in production) at various companies without a hitch - initially with a lot of skepticism. There's also one company where I support twenty Fedora boxes (which is a pain because there isn't an LTS version) but I kicked off that company's use of Linux with RH (not RHEL) 5 and the IT manager doesn't want to move to another distribution.
