We've been with Rails Machine for over a year and loving it. If you need some extra support and sysadmin knowledge (aka more hands-on then Slicehost) Rails Machine is absolutely the best we could wish for.

And of course additionally we also use EC2 and other AWS services.

Agreed. Their tech support is also great which is more than you can say about a lot of hosting companies.

Same, but I wish they had a 'green' option. I'd gladly pay a bit more if I could get renewable power powering my site.

Slicehost: For the Rails apps I write. They have a great range of tutorials and how-to articles to sysadmining isn't too much hassle. Dreamhost: For various Wordpress blogs, Redmine (Rails) bug tracking, Subversion repositories, WebDAV -- basically the stuff you don't need to waste money on a VPS for.
