You should use what works best for you.
But, building software on RHEL/CentOS is way more
difficult for the most part than building software
under Fedora. That's the difference between ~1200
programs and thousands of programs in a distro.
It might be a problem with rpm's here as well. But I build most of our
scientific software (with only a couple of exceptions) from source. So
my g03, vasp, Atlas, fftw2, fftw3, gamess, lammps, mpich-1.2.7 (intel
and PGI), mpich2 (intel and PGI), mrbayes, openmpi (intel and PGI), MX,
deMon, NRLMOL are all source builds. With the exception of VASP (which
required tweaking of MPI and compilers) all were straight forward.
Non source builds are abaqus and adf, currently.
