I notice that the same versions of kmod-xfs and xfsprogs etc. are in both the extras and centosplus repositories for centos5.

Is there any particular reason to use the centosplus kernel if what I'm primarily interested in is XFS filesystem support?

I presume that if I am using the plus kernel, then I must use the plus versions of kmod-xfs etc., but I'm wondering whether I need the plus kernel in the first place.

Not if xfs is all you want. The centosplus kernel has loads more than xfs turned on.
