Scientific Linux is faster at patching and keeping up with RHEL releases than CentOS has been.

After the extremely long time between the release of RHEL6 and CentOS 6, I don't know that I would choose to go with CentOS for new installs.

I recommended the same thing to my clients for a while last year, CentOS 6 was not getting updates at all for a time. They seem to have fixed that now though, it looks to be safe to use CentOS 6 again. Of course, if you want fast updates, pay RedHat.
