You seem to have gotten things right from the beginning: CentOS/RHEL, SuSE and Debian are all known to be good choices for GNU/Linux on enterprise-critical servers, so it really boils down to which of them you can afford and are comfortable with. Personally, that choice has been and continues to be Debian. For many others, it is CentOS/RHEL. Picking the right distribution doesn't save you from the "security is a way of life" principle, though. Maintaining an enterprise-critical server needs time, diligence, and a lot of boring work. It also requires infrastructure that, to a certain extent, is self-healing at the cost of performance and optimization (ie: think RAID where you have slight performance degradation and loss of storage capability for redundancy).
