I have to agree that they're both great. I moved from Linode to DO when DO was significantly cheaper, but since Linode has lowered their prices to compensate, there would be no reason not to recommend them, and they have the best reputation for reliability for a VPs. Since I haven't used Linode in a while, I'm not sure if they have some of the extras DO has, like simple snapshot and backup of nodes or free data transfers between servers within a zone. It's also very easy to resize a node and takes only a minute. You would have to ask someone using Linode if they have similar services.
