Can only comment on heroku. It really depends on how many instances you need to run to handle those requests. Heroku figure 35$ x (number of instances - 1).
Nice thing about heroku is you can pretty much just crank up the web dynos if you get popular (or get slashdotted). Also there's a ton of people writing addons to take the hassle out of common things like running a solr server, email, memcache, redis, etc. Whether these things are worth the added cost is probably more dependent on how big your team is/how willing you are to roll your own. Given most of my projects have been 1-2 person affairs with no other IT people, so I tend to stick with heroku. You always have the option of moving away and implementing yourself if it becomes too expensive.
