shared host or small vps

I started looking into moving off of dreamhost because I’ve had some issues with responsiveness on my applications. For $20 a year, I could put up with it. Now that I’m paying $100, it’s a bit more annoying since there are other options out there at that price point.

I’m considering slicehost.com, linode.com and webfaction.com.

I guess the other big reason is that I want to play with MongoDB and each of these gives me that option.
