AWS. It did not save money, nor provide better support, but there's much more tooling and generally it's easier to hire folks who have used it extensively. I don't care for AWS much either, but at least it's issues are, at this point, relatively well-known. And there's the added bonus that if AWS goes down, everything is likely acting weird... customers blame "the internet." Where as when Linode goes down, you're likely to be the only site/app behaving strangely, and they blame you.
