Which AMI would you suggest for CentOS 5.x 64-bit? There is quite a large list but I am clueless as to how to make my decision based on the list here:

(I tried 'Rating' but that's too subjective)
I also don't want to build my own AMI (for now).

AMI is definitely CentOS 6. x, whereas Amazon Linux 2 is CentOS 7.
AWS Marketplace: CentOS 7.9 Free.
Optimized performance Amazon Linux 2 includes support for the latest Amazon EC2 instance capabilities and is tuned for enhanced performance. It includes packages that help ease integration with other AWS Services.
Product Overview The image contains just enough packages to run within AWS, bring up an SSH Server and allow users to login. Please note that this is the default CentOS-7 image that we recommend everyone uses. It contains packages that are updated at points in time to include critical security updates.
The CentOS AMI's prepared by RightScale are probably sufficient. See http://support.rightscale.com/18-Release_Notes/02-AMI/RightImages_Release_Notes for details and a list of AMI identifiers.

You can also browse and filter the Amazon Machine Images - here is a list showing
CentOS x64 with an ebs root volume. You can also check out the page from CentOS discussing how to get started with Amazon and perhaps use one of their AMIs from the Marketplace - which appear to be free from software costs (you just have to pay the amazon usage fees).
