My web hosting contract with them is a pretty minimal one. All I can say is that I've had no trouble over the past few years. If you've already tried them at a higher service level, your experience is worth more than mine.

You don't need a backup MX. IIRC, the default retry interval for every *nix MTA in default configuration is _3-5 days_. Do you foresee your server being down more than 3-5 days at a time? If not, you don't need a backup MX.
