Here's what I'm doing at the moment:
Slicehost for web server, backend processing and db. This allows me to scale each major part individually. The processor agents store a bunch of stuff on S3.
I'm probably going to change this to using the backend systems on Slicehost just as schedulers and do the actual processing on EC2. The biggest concern here is transferring the data back and forth. If Amazon provided functionality identical to Slicehost at the same economics, I would switch in an instant.
