There isn't any!  Just use the centos one.  The reason for the separate kernel modules was that RedHat / CentOS used to not compile NTFS so users had to compile it themselves which most people don't know how to do so the Linux-NTFS project provided RPMs for RedHat / CentOS but if you are saying that CentOS now provide an NTFS module as standard then there is no need for those RPMs any more.  Simply use the CentOS provided one!

Best regards,
