You're really not going to have stability problems because of the way they track upstream, but you may see compatibility issues if your project is going to have a lot of dependencies, it'll take a little while for third parties to start releasing 6.x packages.  If you're talking web app and the database you need is packaged and you can live with, worst case, using un-packaged deps for framework dependencies, go with 6.x, it'll save you pain in the long run.  The CentOS major version upgrade process is ugly and the officially packaged versions in 5.x are really elderly in most cases.

Oh lordie:
This just triggered the thought that I may be able to drop new CentOS in, and ditch a ton of Ubuntu in my world…  Maybe, just maybe…

Downloading to build our app on CentOS 6 now…
