Fedora or centos virtual machine host?

I plan three virtual machines: centos for asterisk; freebsd for gateway and xp for smaller needs.
I will virtualize with kvm.
What to choose for a host?
Why do I choose from them? It's simple, most often, if I google something about kvm, I stumble upon these two axes.

Look at the distro lifespan: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Release_Life...
This will be the clear answer to your question why Fedora is unsuitable for this task.
Fedora is a testing ground where solutions that will later be included in RHEL/CentOS are tested.
It is not for you, the users, but for the developers of the OS itself.
Parallels can be drawn with Ubuntu LTS and non-LTS versions.

there is no big difference, I think fedora is a testing ground for redhat, and everything new first appears there, centos is already a free redhat for us poor people. Proceed from the lifetime release, if not critical, then you can take Fedora or centos, I think there is no fundamental difference, both are rpm based

I would use centos, not fedora. Fedora was nicknamed "Fedora Core" for a reason. Why? Well, they already said here - fedora is an unstable version, on which features are run in, which after that will enter the centos and the hat.
