I haven't run Century before, so I couldn't tell you. My preference has always been Rhom Air.

Rhom air is no longer in buisness so parts for the gear are not available unless you can find suitable alternatives those gear look like a money pit there also set up for brakes which require more plumbing, that = more areas for leaks, and problems.
if your looking for retracts spend a few extra $$ and get a new set you will avoid alot of the hassles that leaky seals and old hardware provide.
several popular types available are,
spring air
