Heroku's is really easy. But it's got some quirks (that seem to get fixed very quickly, but that may change with their new corporate overlords). It's also really expensive. In my experience, it's not as reliable as it needs to be either. (It's not much fun to tell a client that that bizzaro error page that intermittently shows up is Heroku's problem and there's nothing I can do about it). Make sure you look into SSL on heroku before committing. But the dial up scaling is nice. As is the very quick setup and minimal config. I use Slicehost most of the time. Setting up a basic passenger/nginx/rails/mysql server is not that hard once you figure it out. It takes me about an hour to do it manually. So I'd learn - it won't take long to make it worth your while with Heroku's prices.
