The New Linode Cloud: SSDs, Double RAM and much more

I agree with this. I have a few DO accounts, a Linode and a few BuyVM accounts. The Linode is what I use for all of my "serious" production stuff, but I love the LEBs to play.

That said, I do think the performance of DO is quite good. It reminds me of Slicehost back in the day.

The BuyVM guys are just the best people ever, and I mostly maintain play boxes there just b/c I can get away with stuff there that might not fly at DO or Linode.

There's also the aspect of customer expectations. At Linode's price point I feel like no matter the size of my VPS, I am allowed to have the expectation of a certain level of support. If they were to take too long to address a ticket or fix an issue I would be more inclined to make a stink about it versus a provider that is providing me with a VPS for what turns out to be $3.00 a month!
