As a fastmail user for the last 3 years, I would say fastmail.

I pay $130/3 yr so about $3.61 a month. Considering how integral email is to my day to day life, the cost of a drink at Starbucks seems reasonable to pay per month.

The flexibility in configuring aliases is excellent - I maintain a couple distinct email address domains but can send all my mail from a single account. Not to mention my wife and I now share address books, calendars, and domains which has all been exceedingly easy to setup.

Honestly, I think FastMail is absolutely worth it. Give them a shot - it's a great service that I'd pay twice as much for.
