A comparison with Tails would be nice.

A big difference is the base distro.

I used Arch for many years, so I love it as daily driver.

But for a security-critical context such as this, Debian with it's stability and very security-aware package maintainership seems like a better choice.

Or Centos.

This. Rationale is SELinux.

Linux security modules, always good to have. AppArmor, SELinux, Smack, and TOMOYO are good examples.

In my experience CentOS means EPEL and EPEL means throwing that stability and security-aware packaging out the window.
