Since a year or two I've been using CentOS 5.x x86_64.

Before that I used Debian (until etch), Ubuntu (until 6.06 LTS), openSUSE (until 10.x), but after a while I wanted the same distribution on all boxes, eventhough they had different purposes (hlds, http, mail). Of all flavours that I had used I liked Debian best (and openSUSE the least), but the fact that I had never tried CentOS (or Red Hat/Fedora for that matter) before and that CentOS was a bit more ahead (binary repositories wise) of Debian made me choose for CentOS. Its fairly large userbase was a nice bonus.

I've never compared performance between any of those and I never bothered to compile my own kernels, so as far as I'm concerned it's all just about personal preference. Unfortunately threads like these are usually plagued by fanboyism and tend to end with a list of unsustained claims made by people who don't realise that all distributions stem from the same tree and that the differences are minimal.

What did you vote?

I agree because Gentoo is obviously the best
