When we contacted both 10gen and Basho a few months ago, Basho's support rates were cheaper than 10gen. We didn't look at Datastax at the time, so I can't comment on that comparison.

Quantity, in particular how much they charge per server. I don't think it would be fair for basho for me to spout specifics, but as late of last year it seemed rather exorbitant especially for an open source product.
