I second the vote for Blue Box. We moved from Heroku 8 months ago and have been extremely happy.
I agree with grrrando, there were a few instances of slow responses during setup, but I also agree thats because you're talking to an individual in that case, rather than a support team.
Two of my favorite things about Blue Box:
1) On the first sales call they had a knowledgeable engineer that discussed the specifics of our app.
2) With their online chat I get answers from an engineer within minutes, even on nights or weekends (they have phone support too, I prefer chat)
