Linode was also one of my original choice, but the price is the same, I'm not very comfortable paying $160/mo for a 4GB VPS when OVH give me much more power for half the price.
I may be too stubborn and focalized on this provider :D
Yes. ;-)

We've been using Linode - they've been great. They also have some great scripts that you can use to provision your hardware.

Agreed. I can't recommend linode.com highly enough.
Their support is amazing, and I doubt you'll find a negative review from anyone in the OSS community.
You don't get cpanel with fantastico, et al (but you can install them yourself) - and a 4Gb RAM / 128Gb HDD server, + 1.6Tb trf is only $160 p/m. You can add automated backup facilities to that for an extra fee, or just make snapshot backups in a separate partition.
You can't compare dedicated servers to VPS, though you do get stock 4 processor Xen instances on linode.com, along with shared, mirrored, drives. I had a look at OVH, and they do look really impressive - but at the price I have to seriously wonder how they manage those specs.
