Centinnal goes great with any of the "C" hops
Cascade, Columbus, Chinook, Citra
Amarillo and Simcoe too
My preference is cascade and Amarillo ...Bitter with centennial and late additions and dry hop with the others

I agree. IMO centennial works awesome with Columbus and cascade. Also, a little experimentation never hurts, see what you like!
I have used grains of paradise to an oatmeal ipa with citra and simcoe hops. Really added a pepper zest that had a lemon aroma to it. I didn't go too overboard with them but it really complimented a nice summer ipa.

I think in an ipa you don't really need it, there are hops that lend themselves to the same flavors, Sorachi Ace comes to mind if you want a lemon flavor. I used some in a cucumber Saison I brewed, worked perfectly.
