I can tell you from experience that I haven't seen much out of the paid support for RHEL, if it were entirely up to me, I'd use only CentOS. At $WORK we have gone from a policy to only use CentOS, to a policy to only use RHEL, back to a policy to only use CentOS. It is nice because it is all managed the same and you can dial-up or dial-down to hit whatever value management wants to pay to a vendor -- or to just mix and match with mostly CentOS, but critical servers running RHEL (or OEL) -- and it all looks the same.
