You would choose CentOS if you need to run enterprise-level software (example, Oracle), but you can't pony up the operational money to buy Red Hat Enterprise Linux licenses on your server fleet.

If you can afford Oracle licenses, RHEL licenses are a rounding error.
Oracle supported way would be to use Oracle Linux for that.
