I have only good experience with both. My linode (internet exposed) server has been running for almost 7 years now. My DO server (also internet exposed) is ~2 years old. These days I would spin up a DO by default because I am sucker for SSD. I might switch back to defaulting to linode with this new pricing. linode has a fantastic irc channel. Plus linode has IPv6 support which DO has promised _years_ ago. Just hop on and the linode guys help you out immediately. I don't think you can go wrong with either for medium sized companies (< 100).
