The later version is better in most (practically ALL) respects. You only use the older versions if they are already in place and need to support old legacy software that will not run on the later kernel versions. One of the wonderful things about CentOS and Red Hat is that when these versions are released they are normally rock solid and then the added bonus of patch security updates for many years.

Sounds like you have a friend who has not learned much in several years.
Use CentOS 5.5 (or wait just a little while and use CentOS 6.0)
We have 5.5 on a room-full of important, must-be-up-all-the-time servers with a variety of applications and have no problem with the OS.
We also have several OSen on many servers and probably like CentOS and FreeBSD the best. The others (MS, SUN, proprietary UNIX) are used only because some Dept bought some high-priced application that requires them.
