Current CentOS 6 is 2.6.32, not 2.6.36
In that XFS Youtube video, Dave Chinner says upstream 3.0 kernel or RHEL 6.2 [at 45:20 of the video].
Other sources [0] [1] agree.

Definitely shoot for CentOS 6.3 ...
XFS with a kernel _more recent_ than 2.6.36 (currently shipped with CentOS6) has more improvements to the XFS code. Youtube video on XFS [0] - I believe the kernel version noted is 2.6.39 (watch the video!) [2].
And there's also a Youtube video on BTRFS [1] that was linked to/shared by Fernando.

Never had to deal with such a large filesystem, yet, but I'd try XFS on it.
XFS is fairly memory intensive. 11TB file systems tend to mean millions and millions of files.
frankly, I wouldn't run this on CentOS 5.6, I would upgrade to CentOS 6.latest and then I would use XFS.... support for EXT4 and XFS is rather sketchy with the old kernel in 5.x (and why aren't you at 5.8 or whatever is current in the 5 series anyways?!?)
