I'm in the same situation :
My experience :
Fedora -->If you like the lastest features (including bugs) of software
it's good distro
Debian --> Good distro but IMHO the update is to slow and after
some year on a server you run very out-of-date software
CentOS --> Good if the software you need is RedHat Compliant only,
because CentOS is a RedHat without the support.
About software (packages) :
Fedora/CentOS : Using yum and rpm. Work well but they are not many
packages in the official repository. You need to find with rpmfind
many package.
Debian : Lots of packages, but as I said it's out-of-date. You can
run unstable (like 7-Stable) or Testing (like 7-current) but it's
on your own risk.
Regards.
