Speaking only for myself, I can say that I've read about Arch and was impressed with their project goals / attitudes. But I'm really not looking for a BSD-like Linux distro. If I want FreeBSD, I will use FreeBSD.

When I'm required to use a Linux distro, I am inclined to opt for a server market leader, and my managers are inclined to want something officially supported. Since I already spend a lot of time with Red Hat-family distros at work, CentOS makes sense for personal use.

[ So I'm probably just reiterating some of what TerryP already said. ]
