Hello Boobster,
Well if you have already chosen another host then let me be the first to wish you great success with them, from what I see of the list above they are all reputable and quality hosts!
If you are still considering an alternative then please take a look at
Caro.Net our network has been maturing since 1995 and we offer a stable and fast connection to some very large clients. Due to our peering not only do we offer low ping time throughout the US but we also serve up fast delivery to Europe as well.
I would certainly like to discuss what we could bring to the table for you, if you are still looking.
Thanks in advance for the opportunity.
