If you can spend a couple extra bucks, you might consider integrating with Spreedly instead of with any individual processor. They're a unified API for 55+ gateways, and a gateway-agnostic card vault. This is one of the worries using them eliminates; you can use Stripe no matter what your concerns are, because if they do disappear in a year, you can point your sites back at Authnet or whoever you prefer without changing any code. No interruption of service, no lost customer info to continue billing.

You do have to trust Spreedly will still be around, but that's much easier than trusting in a new processor. Unlike a payment processor, they don't suffer from existential threats like a failure in their risk evaluation allowing a fraud event to wipe out a month's worth of profit at a time. Their business model basically prints money (run an API, keep a few pennies of each transaction) and they've been at it for years.
