Stable releases of Fedora or Red Hat Linux are great for production servers.
The point of RHEL versions are the paid support if you need it. They are also certified to work with many commercial applications, such as Oracle, etc.
If you really want paid support, and can afford it, go for the Enterprise Linux.
However, if you just want community support, and little or no cost, then stick with Fedora, Red Hat, or other stable releases of Linux.
Note: you can certainly download any software from ftp.redhat.com and use it, even RHEL SRPM's. You would be on your own to support it. Why bother, when you can get Fedora or Redhat via ISO images, and get community support.

What do you mean by "Red Hat", as opposed to RHEL? Will there be a non-RHEL, non-Fedora Red Hat, or do you mean the older versions (9.0, 80, etc)?
