I use a Linode for VPS/web hosting, Google Apps for email and AWS for S3 storage where I need it. The combination is great. But if it wasn't for the Linode community and great support I would consider switching to an EC2 instance - I imagine an EC2 would be quicker to communicate with S3 than my Linode, though I haven't looked at Amazon's datacenter location options.
