We have been running Postfix/Cyrus/Amavis on CentOS for over
10 years.
<br>
<br>
Now we are faced with upgrading from CentOS 5 due to EOL.
Choices are CentOS 6 and 7. Comments as to best choice would
be greatly appreciated.

Centos6 EOL is ~8 years away. Centos 7 EOL countdown does not
start until Centos 8 ships.
<br>
<br>
Where is the question?
<br>
<br>
I have Centos7/postfix/postfixadmin/dovecot/amavis/clamd running
on an armv7.

I don't think I have everything worked out, still in test mode,
but you can see what I did to get it running at:

Oh, and I suggest you check out Dovecot as part of your
migration. It has gained a large following over Cyrus even on
Centos6.

I have both 6 and 7 in production. Setup is not much different, but
there are some things you'll need to address anyway.<br>
<br>
I'd go with 7 as RH now should support release upgrade, which means
that upgrade from 7 to 8 will be a supported path, (though it's been
possible anyway). EPEL does a great job at providing working
packages for amavis, clamav etc, it's probably easyer than setting
up centos 5.<br>
<br>
Personally I'm testing a migration to debian which supports release
upgrades and has most of the packages out of the box, though it
needs more care 'cause security updates don't last as long as CentOS
(but has a nice cron-apt which works, yum sometimes is a pita).<br>
<br>
As others have said you should look at how much time you have to
spend. From 5 to 6 it's pretty much installing and fixing some
changes in configuration files. With 7 there's systemd which might
give you some problems if you are not used to it. Bu then all major
distros now use systemd so you'll have to start using it someday :)<br>
<br>
my 2 cents.<br>
