I'm pretty conservative, yet I'd go 6 in this VM case- especially with your puppet use- (but I'd read the entire release changes doc with the particular client use/reqs in mind before proceeding!) CentOS 'REL' equivalent has been consistent for me in the past.
Perhaps on hardware I'd be more skiddish...
