Just a couple quick responses, at least as far as Server Check.in is concerned:
a, b, c are currently not on my radar (since I don't want to spread myself thin :).
d - I have the site name, but not the status, at this time. That's a good point (of course, SMS messages being limited to 160 characters makes this a bit tougher than it should be for SMS).
e - Server Check.in uses one predictable number (no email-to-sms from a random number) - see https://servercheck.in/sms
f - For now, we're just measuring from the east coast, USA, but I'm planning on averaging results from a node there, a node in Dallas, TX, a node in Seattle, WA, and a node somewhere in the EU within the next year or so.
g - Since I'm using Drupal for the site's front-end, this is incredibly easy—Drupal tries to autodetect your TZ on signup, and you can change it in your account settings. All times should be displayed in your TZ. (If they aren't, let me know and I'll fix it!)
