Hi Barry,
Please note that I've been involved with oVirt for a while now, so my
answers may be slightly biased...

Well, I wouldn't say that's an either/or question as oVirt is pretty much
built on top of CentOS these days.
Now, oVirt only really becomes interesting when you have 3 or more
hypervisor hosts. In that configuration you can have pretty smooth
zero-downtime upgrades.
If youre only going to have one host, I'd opt for CentOS + qemu-kvm-ev +
Cockpit/virt-manager/boxes.

Well, I've used it with OpenVPN over the internet and it worked ok. But so
far only for server textual consoles, so can't say much about how well
would it stream GUI.

Well the virt-* suit of commands and virsh give you a lot of power in the
command line. Especially virt-builder that can give you working pre-built
VM images, but sometimes it's just quicker to get up and running with a GUI
tool like virt-manager.
