Hi,
I don't get centering with either form, but you can get what you want with:
GridBox[Map[ToBoxes[#] &, Flatten[data, 1], {2}]] // DisplayForm
The GridBox has all sorts of options, and you can nest StyleBox objects
inside it so that you can output an array as a table with bold headings
and lines as a grid, or just marking off the headings. If you are
interested in the exact appearance of your output, this is definitely
the way to do it.
