CentOS is the way to go. Its not just similar to Red Hat.. It *IS* Red Hat Enterprise Linux, just repackaged without all the Red Hat trademarks. You generally can only get Red Hat Enterprise Server if you pay Red Hat for support and Red Hat Network. The CentOS team just grabs the source, created a build system and distribute it.

Red Hat ES/CentOS are much more appropriate for servers... and it has a two year release/support schedule. Your not going to get all the latest and greatest experimental technology like you would with Fedora, but a nice stable, well tested OS. Fedora is Red Hat's testing ground for the latest and greatest stuff.. not exactly a good candidate for production servers usually.
