Ubuntu gives you somewhat more of a chance of doing an in-place
version-to-version upgrade to a new major version; it's not as good as
Debian at that, but it does inherit *some* capability from Debian in
that regard.

But if you're more comfortable with CentOS, then you might be happier
with "keep crucial data on filesystems that don't get reformatted when
you re-install."
