Mandrill has been pretty reliable. I was certainly annoyed by the pricing and sending requirements change, but the actual cost didn’t increase much for us since we already had a Mailchimp account.

That said, we have a duplicate of Mandrill’s sending infrastructure at SES and use it enough that we know it is ready for migration. We have a lot of domains (agency.) Keeping track of domain sending security for two providers is occasionally challenging, but we could move everything to solely use SES in about a week if needed.

I have my own concerns about SES since my impression is that you have to do your own IP hygiene, and you can't get "pre-warmed" IPs, so if we were to slam SES with our email traffic, our deliverability would fluctuate greatly. We don't send unsolicited email however, and only to people who confirm their email.
