My picks: Rackspace.com - If you're serious. I've got a number of 'cloud' virtual Linux machines with them for my own projects, and a 30U of colo kit for my real job. I've always had excellent service from them, including during some DR situations, and they have yet to disappoint me on any count.
Bluehost.com - cpanel based bulk shared hosting. Cheap, no data caps, pretty good service, although I have had some unexplained outages in the last 6 months, they come online again quickly. I have 25 domains with them, customers and my own, under four accounts. Support is good, but I think they might be spread a little thin out of US 9-5 hours. kiwiwebhost.co.nz - budget shared hosting that's local. Cpanel based on Linux. I was with them until I shifted to Bluehost because I started hosting a photo archive and needed more space and bandwidth than I could get locally at a reasonable cost. Cheers, Me.
