I've not tried DO, I've been with Linode for years. I can literally not tell the difference in performance from my local machine. They rarely if ever have downtime from my experience. They don't oversell their VPS's so performance is always high. They can't be beaten, I've tried many, not DO, and Linode is top of the heap by far.
