It all depends what you see your BC as doing. As a blitzer I'd rather have Stand Firm than Dodge. Why? Because I have ST4 already. This means I have to worry less about being knocked over, and more about being pushed out of the way.
As for dodging away, Stand Firm means you can't turn over, while Dodge increases the chances to making the roll. You can always use a team RR on a failed dodge roll. A break tackle/SF BC can dodge into 3 tackle zones on a 5+, and you don't have to worry that failing will cause a TO.
The other reason is that Dodge is negated by tackle. So when you only have a couple of players with Dodge and your opponent has ~4 tacklers it doesn't make too much difference when being hit.
OTOH if you want your BC to be a call carrier then Dodge probably makes more sense, just of the occassions when it does make a difference to being knocked over, and it helps you escape from the enemy.
This might sounds crazy but here's what i did. Since u can have 2Centaurs i opted for one to play defense and one to play offense. One is always on each half of the pitch. On the defense side i have a Cenatur chasing people down with Block(first skill) and Strip Ball(Second Skill). On the Offense side i have a Centaur with Dodge(first skill) and Block(Second Skill). The Defense Centaur chases any player with the ball lucky enough to break through on my side. Strip Ball works wonders and ticks people off in a time of need. the second Centaur is almost hard to knock down with block and dodge (let alone hard enough to catch up with him) while he is running the ball in for a TD.
