I would say, CentOS 6 is the best of Linuxes suitable for server (IMHO). However, I for one decided to move my servers away from Linux (as from "Unix-like" Linux gradually becomes "Windows-like" during last 5 years or so). Since some time ago I do not upgrade Linux systems on servers I maintain. Instead, when the time comes, I just migrate server from Linux to FreeBSD, which is much more suitable platform for server than Linux. Version 7 of RedHat Enterprise or CentOS is much worse than version 6 to build server on. Again, this is just my humble opinion. If I absolutely have to build server on today's latest Linux, I will choose Debian, which at least doesn't have systemd yet. But it will have it in next release...
Again, this is just $0.02 worth of my own opinion, definitely not a consensus (and likely not even a majority opinion) on this list.

Do you run bhyve virtualisation on any of your migrated FreeBSD hosts?
No, at the moment I run services in FreeBSD jails. Even a single host sometimes lives in several jails (say: web server, shell login, mail,... go to different jails). But don't confuse me for an expert here...
