I think Centos 5.2 has the best hardware compatibility.

All our production servers are Centos 5.2 for that reason, we needed out of the box 3Ware, Infiniband, latest Intel eth chip set, etc.

We too only use CentOS for Dom0s. I understand the draw toward newer drivers with Fedora but why would you use a constant beta in a production environment? We're currently using Xen 3.3 for everything.

Though  I am running Xen under CentOS 5.2, I recommend to use debian or ubuntu because of the availability of newer packages (>3.0) under debian/ubuntu repos.
