Alex,
I know of many examples of praise for centuriones in Caesar's works, especially the Gallic Wars. Titus Pullo and Lucius Vorenus (of the TV series fame) were singled out for their valor, for example, in Gaul under the command of Quintus Tullius Cicero in 53 BC (brother of the consul Marcus Tullius Cicero).
I believe that all of Caesar's works contain laudes for members of the centurionate, and if I am not mistaken he made senators of a few centuriones, which should be mentioned in other sources.
