Sorry forgot to answer about why we chose appcelerator, I think its really about the amount of built in features. It allows you to get the ball rolling quicker, plus if you want custom it also has node.js custom server code capability.

We are only using appcelerator cloud, our app is actually built in C# with http://xamarin.com Appcelerator has free usage package

I have probably tried everyone one of those on the list, and a lot of it really depends which SDK some of those services offer.

Reading other developers code could be the best way to learn programming. You always find some creative way someone did to solve a problem.
