Given the cost and ease of setup, CentOS is a great choice, using one
of the machines as a server and the other as clients. CentOS is very
robust, and can be configured for one machine to hundreds, so to ear
mark it as only a Enterprise package is wrong, and no there isn't a
great deal of setup involved. With the tools that come with the
package a working server can easily be configured and running in a
afternoon, so the task isn't all that tough. Plus you have the wealth
of the CentOS community to help if you get in trouble.
That's my nickels worth, you can keep the extra three cents...

For the clients side, my favorite flavor of Linux is Ubuntu.
For trees my favourite color is green, while for fire engines it is red.
This is something you don't have to back up with some arguments, as a
non-green tree (at least from spring to fall) doesn't look that healthy
and who has ever heard of a yellow fire engine?
Your case up there looks a bit different: It is easy to say that those
are your favourite flavors - but can you substantiate that somehow?
Especially as ClarkConnect and SME are based (or at least were based) on
CentOS but mostly lack a large community behind them -> Vendor Lock-In.
