Both distributions are perfectly usable. The main differences is that CentOS carries very outdated software (or stable, as they call it). I personally find debian easier to use and manage, and more compatible with third party software (especially with modern software).

Thank you for the suggestion @@Haru, which Debian version 7.8 or 8.0?.

There is usually little to no reason to install an outdated version (unless your hardware isn't supported by the latest). This means that you should go for Debian 8 or CentOS 7. CentOS 6.x is a bad choice, because it comes with a version of gcc that we don't offer support for (it may work or may break at times), and you should upgrade it on your own.
