Here is another recipe in Brewing Classic Styles by Jamil Zainasheff. Its another big beer for me after McDoles Brown Ale but looks good. It is meant to be a roastier,hoppier version of Foreign Extra Stout. I can either use cascade or amarillo instead of centennial but am not sure which to use. I have not used amarillo yet and heard its a bit orangey. Do you think i should go for cascade or amarillo for aroma?

I've found using Amarillo in my current batch tastes fine, I wouldn't say it's orangey though. TBH, I put 100g in mine - 50g boil, 50g steep and expected one of my usual very hoppy beers but it's far from it. Mine has an 8%AA and is no where near as hoppy as some of the other, lower AA hops i've used. These were pellets so i'm not sure if this should effect the outcome, I doubt it.
If your after something a little more on the citrusy side you could do worse than use Aurora, these are a super styrian type and are very strong
