I haven't seen either in the flesh, but I suspect that the Veloce is a straight subcontract job from FAG, which would imply a forged axle, while the Centaur axle is likely to be made in house and the tapers will be machined flat. Bearings and seals are unlikely to be any different in quality, but I would expect the Centaur tapers to be more square and flat, which might be kinder to your cranks.
