Best ISP for Wordpress.org blog?

6. Thanks, all, for the feedback -- this is an ongoing quest

I'm currently trying out Bluehost and will report my findings here.

Ideally my host would have a good combination of ease-of-use and stability. Cost is somewhat important, but obviously inexpensive technology can be a problem when the host has a pricing model that a) encourages everybody and his brother to sign up, and b) simultaneously cripples their ability to provide good security, performance, and customer service.

I'm hoping Bluehost is a good fit, but I may try out some of the other suggestions folks have posted as well.
