For VPS: I'm using Slicehost currently, but have seen some good reviews of Linode. I think I'll likely give them a spin in the new year instead of Slicehost - you get a bit more for your money, and can customize more from what I understand.
I believe they both have quite good support from both community and company perspectives. Lots of good articles and tutorials.
