If you install Fedora, what you get for support is, essentially,

roughly the same. This does not necessarily make CentOS or SL bad
options (leaving out Fedora for lifecycle reasons others have already
made clear). You, and your boss, have to be willing to live with that
definition of support.
The annoying thing is, I'd *gladly* pay Red Hat for support, if they'd
charge me a sensible amount. I'm not a multinational corporation. I'm
a home user with a single server, but it's important to me. It's
currently running CentOS and has a number of problems. I'd install
RHEL in a heartbeat to get support for it. But given the minimum Red
Hat support charge is several thousand, it's simply out of my price
range :-(
Horse feathers.
You can get a personal, developer subscription for $99:

Alternatively, you can get a self-support subscription for commercial
use for $349:

RHEL does not start at thousands of dollars, that's just false.
