I'm a fan of Webfaction's shared plans, and I've used them for three or four projects now. I've had no problems with their support, and they even did a pretty good job keeping everyone informed when they were affected by that big explosion at The Planet's datacenter a couple of years ago (http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl? sid=08/06/01/1715247). That said, even though their servers are physically in the US, my credit card bill shows that they're in the UK--so I end up with the fun foreign transaction surcharge every time Webfaction bills me.
I've also spent the last few months on a Rackspace Cloud server for a project, and I've got no complaints. Setting it up and getting everything configured were more involved, of course, but that's to be expected (as Ray said). As Shawn mentioned earlier, Webfaction's control panel makes it easy to set up subdomains and media URLs (so much easier to me than mucking around in httpd.conf and the like), and I like the backup features in Rackspace's control panel. Overall, I'd say you can't go wrong with either, honestly.
