I use ubuntu/debian for all my linux systems. Large swaths of developers are
using it. In my opinion its the distro family to use. It strikes a delicate
balance between stability and new features.
You could always run the centos kernel on it. I find the centos kernel to be
slightly more stable.
Fedora would be good if you want bleeding edge. I will probably use that for
some network related r&d I'm doing. I need latest kernel and userland.

need help with the following
Also, I'd say that "production" means different things to different
people. Joe's not going to be adding tons of users and maintaining
their e-mail and home directories, etc. he's going to be developing
and testing a PHP app. I'd say whatever gets his PHP environment
installed while reaching some intersection of "easy to install" and
"secure/reliable enough for me" is what he's looking for. CentOS
fails all of the "easy to install" tests, in my opinion.
