Just took control of a fresh server which has been setup with Apache/2.0.63 with red hat and cpanel. Is there any reason not to use apache 2.2.10? I have a feeling when i question the version they will say its the most stable version they are happy with. What would be the benefits/negatives for the current version?

Recompile with 2.2.10. You shouldn't have any issues.

Except few modules there is not much difference between the two apache versions.
