Poll: What do you think is the best Linode data center?

My situation is a bit different. I'm in Australia. It differs as follows:

I chose Fremont in the past because it's the lowest latency to me.

Now, however, I have a website that I want to place in a separate data center from Fremont. All the other data centers in North America are about the same latency to me. So latency doesn't really enter into the equation _for_my_this_particular_case_. I figured I'd just choose a data center based on perceived reliability, and perhaps proximity to the 'center of gravity' of the Internet (whereever that is).

But ...

I wanted to make the poll general so it's more useful for future readers. Hence the resultant wording.

It's really a toss-up. Dallas is the second-closest, obviously. London might give you a westward route across Eurasia instead of eastward through the US. I think I'd probably do Newark or London, avoiding Dallas in case most of North America falls into the ocean, and avoiding Atlanta in case something changes with the port blocking.
