Web Hosting

I'm looking for webhosts. Preferably one with shell access, although that's not that necessary. But PHP / Perl support is mandatory, as is a MySQL database. Good support is nice, although I may not need it that much. I'll need slightly more-than-normal bandwidth, as we'll be scrapping RSS feeds on top of normal day-to-day traffic.

If anyone has any suggestions / reviews, I could use them. Otherwise, the three webhosts I'm looking at are:

http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/web-hosting-plans.html - fast support. Most used from this MT forum: http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/forums/index.php?showtopic=28301&hl=good,and,hosting&st=0

http://he.net/hosting_prices.html - Geeky, to-the-point, but expensive. Got gcc though, and are open to BitTorrent running there, which means they support other cool stuff. Probably includes most unix tools.

http://www.phpwebhosting.com/ - Expandable space, unmetered bandwidth. Perl modules installed on request. SSH included. Crontabs, firewalls, unix tools.
