I've been with TextDrive two years, and I don't recommend the shared hosting. Stability has been much better over the last year, but overall it's been very difficult to get responses from support. My feeling is Joyent/TextDrive's heart is in the right place, but it's really all about the cool stuff, and not the fundamentals of quality hosting.
All that said, the Accelerator is a one-of-a-kind setup in the industry, and I am dying to try it because I really do believe it is better than anything else out there. As far as VPS technology goes, kernel-level support really makes the difference, and Solaris is by far the most advanced in this area. Accelerator is leveraging technology from the latest Solaris builds for a VPS that is both burstable, scalable and more stable overall. No one else has anything like it. I'd say it's a pretty good bet for hosting your Rails app. However, I would stick to just the web hosting and keep my email somewhere else. Although my email account there has been pretty stable, it's high latency (email coming in is delayed by the spam filtering from 2-20 mins), and when there IS a problem (such as being flagged as spammy) they just don't answer tickets in a timely manner at all.
