The LTS server releases are very good. I use them routinely and they 
have been quite stable. I currently use them for all new 'base metal' 
server installations with my CentOS systems in VMs on top of them. Over 
the next few years I anticipate migrating everything at all levels to 
them as I get more comfortable with it. My only real complaint is having 
to learn the way a Debian derived system hangs together vs how a Redhat 
derived system is put together.

And AppArmor has yet to 'knee-cap' me like SELinux has (repeatedly) by 
breaking previously stable systems. Where I routinely disable SELinux on 
CentOS, I have yet to have AppArmor interfere with normal ops - ever. It 
"just works".
