Your examples do not offer >2Gb of RAM. Some of them are not based on Xen. Their pricing is not much better too.

Slicehost is not the cheapest, but it is known for the great attitude to the customers. And it is not expensive too.

The 64bit only stuff really hurts them, though. In my comparison (Google for it, I feel bad for linking to it too much), Slicehost is a bit more expensive than Linode to start with, but it's not a huge difference; it's something you could ignore. Throw in the 64bit vs 32bit though, and you really see a big jump in price that's difficult to justify.
