I like NearlyFreeSpeech.net. Like I said previously, my hosting costs were 82 cents for 2016. I cheat a little using Cloudflare to cache content, but I estimate my bill would be maybe $2 without Cloudflare.
The biggest advantage of my own host is TLS with my custom domain. Last time I checked, gh-pages doesn't do that. I'm a big proponent of encrypting the web, so that alone is enough for me.
On top of TLS, using a real host gives me some control I wouldn't have on gh-pages. I can use .htaccess to redirect pages, set cache expiry times, and server headers (such as strict-transport-security). All of that makes it worth the very low cost of entry.
