Debian's repositories have a much better selection of software.

True. And that's a convenience if you need some really obscure packages.

On the other hand, CentOS5 has better administration tools, SELinux, Fortify_Source, Exec-Shield, Xen, a predictable release schedule of 18-24 months, and 7 years of support for every release.

For servers, there really is no comparison.
