Here's my take: -> if time is more precious than money, go with Heroku. -> if money is more precious than time, go with Linode/SliceHost etc. You can change

Here's my take:
-> if time is more precious than money, go with Heroku.
-> if money is more precious than time, go with Linode/SliceHost etc.
You can change your mind later on (depending on scale increase cash etc), or even mix-and-match (eg: your workers on Linode, your front-ends on Heroku).
Last point: some software (eg: sphinx) are not available on Heroku, and some others (eg: websolr) are quite costly compared to a roll-your-own setup.
