using http://stormondemand.com/ (liquid web). When we started, a year or so ago, we ran unixbench on a few of their servers, linode and ec2. I don't remember the results, but I remember Storm won across the board (and, in some cases, like disk IO, by huge margins).

I had 30 second downtime last week. First time.

I like that they offer, ok priced, dedicated machines (though I'm on their "bare-metal" machines for now).

The only problem is that they don't innovate. They are where AWS was back when it started. Shared storage...dns...virtual ips..load balancers...queues...(and the list goes on), doesn't exist.

If I wasn't such a cheap ass, I'd use Amazon.
