Apparently "Cluster 1" is having a ton of issues. Get me off of this ship! Anyway, what did you end up with? Any word on slicehost?

I would "assume" that any grid-type technology is still far too new to be consider stable. I recently rented a VPS from knownhost.com. I am extremely happy with all aspects of their service. Its a bit of a premium price though. I found knownhost via reviews on http://webhostingtalk.com, which has many reviews on all types of hosting: dedicated, VPS, resellers, shared, etc. Never heard of slicehost.

Xen can guarantee resources to its virtual instances, like RAM, CPU, and Disk. If more RAM/CPU is available, the client instance can consume it, but you're (theoretically) guaranteed a certain level of service. You also get straight-up root with no control panel (you have to apt-get install that shiz yourself). Slicehost is a baby EC2+Rightscale.
