That doesn't happen as soon as you might think. I still get regular
updates on CentOS 5.11; so THAT horse ain't dead yet, even though it's
supposedly been EOS for a while now.
For all practical purposes, 6.x will probably continue getting updates
for at least 5 years. That's probably longer than the life of the server.
In another year or so, I would be comfortable with 7, and it will have
more widespread support, and fewer bugs.

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.

7, for the 3.x series kernel if nothing else.

There seems to be a fair bit of dissatisfaction with
RHEL7/CentOS 7. I'm building a couple new servers, if my
others are running CentOS 6 and do what I need, should I
resist the temptation to jump to 7? I think CentOS 6 EOS
dates are 2017 for full updates and 2020 for maintenance updates?
I know some people will say switch to Ubuntu or Debian or
whatever, let's assume I am staying with CentOS, I'm just
asking 6 or 7?
