I started out with dedicated machines at Exodus, then moved to Dialtone 
(Miami center), which was bought out by Interland, then to 
Rackshack.net. I also have a virtual server with johncompanies as a 
backup. With the exception of Exodus, I still run machines at all the 
above data centers. I have set up a web of nagios machines at those 
sites (and a few others) monitoring  each other for uptime.

Rackshack as decent prices and offer plenty of bandwidth (Haven't 
shopped around lately so I don't know if they are still competitive).
Johncompanies offers reasonable prices and prompt personal service.
Dialtone used to be a very reliable provider, but after they were bought 
out by Interland everything went down the tubes. I still host some 
servers with them only because it is a pain to migrate services that 
require 24/7 uptime.
