I would do 7 just because of the support nature of it. There will become a time, sooner than 7, that 6 will no longer receive updates. Bite the bullet and do it now. CentOS7 has a little bit of a learning curve. Gone are the init scripts replaced by sys control. This is the biggest change folks have to get used to.
