Debian has a slightly newer kernel and good for detecting newer hardware compared to CentOS.
It depends on the version number. Even though the CentOS 5.x is on kernel 2.6.18, "selected" drivers from the newer kernels are back ported to the 2.6.18 in each point release.
Keep in mind that it is geared for servers and therefore it may not have the drivers for the newer desktop motherboards. For server grade systems, I have not seen any installation complaints (on the CentOS mailing list).
