Its really hard to beat the price/performance of Linode. The closest match might be a dedicated machine from someplace like liquid, even then I wonder... My only problems with Linode thus-far have been KVM related bugs. The older Xen type instances never had problems at all, at the second to largest size of Linode though I've run into a series of KVM bugs that cause the VM to lockup entirely or pause for seconds to minutes. Its frustrating, but they have been incredibly helpful in fixing the problems as they come up. I have a hard time everytime it happens of considering moving... and I always end up staying with them.
