For my current project I ended up going Rackspace over Amazon. Pretty happy with it so far. It seems to hit right what I needed for this site.
Only real issue I ran into was that they silently pre-configured the Ubuntu image to use their mirrors for packages, and those mirrors were missing a package I wanted: lighttpd.
Fortunately it was an easy enough fix and I didn't blow too much time figuring out what the issue was. But yeah, that could have been a real alchemical problem.

Sorry I didn't get back with you Saturday, did you have any more luck?I think Rackspace is probably out for me as I'm starting to shop for where to move my hosting environment...apparently their load balancers don't support SSL yet (at least officially, I guess there's some hacks). WTF at that?

Np I got it working in the end, my SPF record was blocking all mail as it was misconfigured and there was a loop in the smarterhost or something which is now fixed. The annoying thing now is because my SPF was misconfigured and I was sending a lot of test emails to my gmail Google has blacklisted my IP lol. I'm just moving it all to a new IP now then it should be ok I think

this guy is one of the deepest thinkers on UI and design i've come across, just so brilliant:
watch this video, and suddenly, even if you program, say, in RoR, with cucumber and all the nice tools and the shiniest IDE, you will realize all of us are actually still writing assembly code compared to what could be....

The only question that remains...where are those tools/why aren't they out there
