There are so many reasons I am glad I started and stayed with linode for a VPS. All I hear about slicehost anymore is that they fall under linode in benchmarks, they require 64bit OSs (don't know if this has changed), and they fail to meet other VPS offers.

Personal experience: Linode move from a linode 360 to a linode 540 took under 15 minutes from time submitting support ticket to resizing and rebooting, pro rating pricing is very awesome

To be fair, at least in my personal experience with slicehost, it's been extremely quick on resizes (automated), and they prorate as well.

The pricing isn't so good, though.
