New OS for Server
I am running my web and game server on ubuntu 8.04 lts and am considering in reinstalling a new OS. I would like to try another different OS(most probably CentOS or Debian and I saw alot of good comments about them). I'm not sure what version I am going to install. I searched on websites of companies that rents dedicated servers and noticed that they mainly use Debian 4 or 5 and CentOS 5 or 4.7. I would like you to tell me which versions do you prefer for CentOS and Debian servers.

As above version for Centos,but note that RHEL 6 is already out, which means Centos are working on v6 now.
Depends on what you want/if you're in a rush.

According to the polls we had debian was voted server of choice. I am baised towards debian so I am willing to root for it. However if you want to run a tight ship I can think of nothing better than slackware.
