I prefer Red Hat/CentOS in production because it's a standard. Solid certifications exist and it's easy to find employees with experience. It's also slower moving than say Ubuntu but I prefer longer release cycles and have more confidence in an OS upgrade from Red Hat than I do any other distro. That's just a preference though. I know of many prod environments running other distributions. My advice is to stick with just one distro and keep it updated and centrally managed (Puppet, Chef, etc) because consistency is much more important than allegiance to a distro.
