Depends on your definition of what a cloud actually is.

There's a few platforms out there.
What are you hoping to host?
What are your priorities?
These can help narrow it down so we can help you.

What I've used: Amazon EC2, Mosso.com (now Rackspace Cloud), GoGrid.com (ServePath), Google AppEngine.
Most complicated, yet powerful is EC2, of course, but you have to be a real Pro and know what you're doing to use it.
GoGrid is a bit different and easier to manage than EC2, few nice bonuses like free incoming traffic and load-balancing.
Mosso\RackCloud is just great, average user will adapt to it easily. Not as flexible as EC2, but it's storage is persistent, images\instances size can be changed flawlessly and backed up on schedule automatically.
AppEngine is from Google, but it's not a standard cloud(like a set of VPSes), it's a Platform. The biggest minus is lots of limits of this platform and you'll need to rethink and modify your existing apps to fit appengine. Pluses - it has "pack" of resources that you can consume for free, also Google gives you already scaled platform, you don't have to invent your own cluster structure.
Eventually, if you know what you need and what you can and can't, you'll find solution that suites you, there is a lot of others also But there is no "THE BEST" for now I think...
p.s. all those clouds are very expensive for bandwidth-intensive apps\sites

Terremark has a very powerful enterprise cloud. Not sure exactly what you were looking for, but noticed it wasn't added to this list.

Softlayer is still at start IMO. If you need only to compute, and can afford having downtime, they are still great.

How can you say this , any provider of their stature in the marketplace must have done extensive BETA testing prior to doing a public launch , as my company is currently doing , we have had a cloud for quite a few months now , and we are only doing beta testing to make sure the offering is ready for prime time , also don't you think if there were issues with their cloud people would be complaining by now?Ceridius Networks Sales

You asked if someone will complain about Softlayer. Here i am today to complain. Having a downtime of more than 6 hours.
The support team is responding slow now (around 1 hour to get back with canned responses).
I guess they are still not having expertise to run cloud. I have been using them for almost one month for CloudLayer. I am otherwise having Dedicated servers from them for past 2.5 years.Get Best Prices for Domains - Secure payments via paypal using the Resellerclub interface. Sub Resellers invited. Hosting Companies i DON'T recommend anymore: MDDHosting, Hostgator, DownTownHost.

I have a mediatemple grid for a couple small sites.. $20/m for what i get is worth it. I really enjoy using it.. never had any issues, i do notice that the first couple grid containers (1 and 2) have problems frequently, luckily i am on grid 5. All of the problems are usually fixed within minutes though, get spammed from text's via twitter on my phone, lol.

The only catch is that vmware and citrix arent clouds - they are virtualisation software providers

In Denmark theres a player who offers cloud hosted disks and the resellers then offer these as Cloud VPS. ( netgroup.dk offers the disks / KVM / Dell hardware / network ) and a wast amount including meebox.net, banye.dk, cloud.dk and more offers Cloud hosted servers like this.
Another recent player in the market that im also considering
hpcloud.com that imho looks VERY promising (Akamai)

There are definitely a ton of cloud solutions available. Cloud requires more research than any other type of web hosting because there are so many layers to a cloud stack. ISP, data center facility, network infrastructure, cloud software, hardware, and over provisioning. Like most things, if it is cheap, there is a reason why!
