GeekStorage, Elief, or Eleven2?

OK, I need some feedback from people specifically with experience in these 3 hosts.
I've done some research, looked around WHT, and from that GeekStorage, Elief, and Eleven2 are at the top of my list to move my resell account to from SprintServe.
Based on what I can see, the three of them are pretty much the same in relative hardware and server software etc. So what I need now is opinions from people on what sets them apart from each other.
Why is one different from the others?
(Please, no additional hosts mentioned. There are SO many hosts out there and I've already looked at so many that are indistinguishable--I have to cull the list and I've settled on one of these three.)
Thanks for any feedback!
-Liam

One of the things I've noticed is at least Eief and GeekStorage both seem to be one-man operations.
Not that that's necessarily a bad thing...but it does to me a bit risky, uncertain, regarding business longevity/stability and support (issue response and resolution).
Any thoughts?

Thanks for your interest. I encourage you to search around and choose the provider that is right for you. We've been providing hosting, under various brands, since 2002 and started the GeekStorage brand in late March, 2007 and we are looking forward to many more years of providing a great internet playground/sandbox to our geeks.
I would have long ago gone crazy if I was still going at it solo, like it was when I started back in 2002.

Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems that Elief is running on a KH's VPS based on their IP address. Unless KH provides dedicated server as well?

As far as I know, I have received replies for sales from 2 persons, Jay

It may very well be that their company website is separated from their customers' sites, on a different network/location. That way, their customers will always be able to get in contact with the support team.

Allot of companies will host in a different location than there servers, or have servers in multiple data centers now days.

That is possible as well.
But from what I know they were an Inno reseller before they announce a server move, possibly to KH.

Uhm, this is all real interesting, but I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on the original question?

I find it interesting that you're the only person from GeekStorage I see posting on WHT, and the only name I see on the emails I've been getting back for my admittedly many emailed questions to "support" since I signed up yesterday.
Are you SURE you're not the only person working there and the rest aren't just imaginary friends?
