Just a few comments. If you want to run the RHEL6 kernel, and that's what I'm running, why not run it on RHEL6 or a RHEL6 clone?
Debian isn't supported very long... about 3 years (from initial release). RHEL6 will be supported for some time.
On an OpenVZ host node installing services and adding users isn't recommended and you want to keep your host node pretty minimal. I know one of the advantages of Debian is that it is a fantastic server OS with a large library of software... which you don't care about for an OpenVZ host node.
I'm just saying. :)
TYL,
