I'm trying to decide on a linux distro to use for our enterprise Samba
server. I like that there is a deb repo for Debian from samba.org, but
I'm more comfortable with CentOS (Redhat). I just want to be sure I
have a well supported Samba server and I need at least the 3.0.20
version so I can use the "inherit owner" property. I also want
automatic updates for bugfixes and security (not to concerned about new
features though). Any insight?

We are using Gentoo Linux on a custom made P-IV-based raid1 scsi box.
Currently, gentoo offers 3.0.22-r3
Gentoo portage is technically very different from rpm, but once you get
used to it, it's just as simple (IMHO even simpler wrt package
dependencies).
It basically comes down to:
emerge --sync # to get the latest version
emerge samba # dowload, compile and install
rc-update add samba default # start samba at boot
Configuration is just standard smb.conf editing (or webmin, if installed).
Just my 2 (euro)cents.
