Wow. This thread's almost 2 years old! Well, since then, I've used ipowerweb.com. They were good to me and it was a nice all-in-one solution. However, I guess I was lucky because one particular forum (webhostingtalk.com) about web hosting was really iffy about them. So, with that in mind, I figured I'd leave while the gettin's good. I canceled them after my first year and went with another web host and domain vendor. I'm with registerfly.com and site5.com.
http://www.thehostingfinder.com/ is also a good site for a few web host suggestions.

I too am biased working at HE.net. (does everyone here work for some type of webhost or datacenter?).
The one thing you need to remember with anything, especially webhosting is you get what you pay for. While certain services cost more for a little less, you're going up in quality and support. If you don't care about the site being up or being able to reach someone on the telephone, then go for the cheapest one that "gives" you the most.

I was looking at the Value Hosting under Business product. Most of other places offer much higer monthly bandwidth, and MySQL DB for the same price.

That is what I use. No complaints for me. Had it for 2 years now.
maybe you can change my mind... I was looking at your Starter Virtual Host package. How many DB can I have? What your server uptime? While tech support is great, I won't die without it as long as it's up and running and fast...
