As I've begun building a new personal project, I wavered between using DO, AWS & Heroku. I started with Heroku, and immediately ran into annoyances - mainly that they treat git as the source of truth, and require anything else to be injected as environment variables (which I find annoying). AWS was tempting, since we use it at work, but the complexity of configuring what I needed was more than I wanted to deal with. So I went back to DO (who I already run a couple VPS' with) and cleared off a droplet that I wasn't using, setup a docker droplet and went on my merry way.
