Multiple cheap VPSes vs a few reliable VPSes
I currently have a budget for a total of $50, and am looking to add VPSes at each coast of the US.
Would it be better to have several cheap VPSes at each side, instead of buying from a extremely reputable provider, and having one on each coast?
I mean, even at reputable providers, disks will crash, systems will fail, .etc, .etc.
With multiple VPSes, I could have two on each side, and one in central US as a failover. Since my DNS plan includes failover and GeoDNS, I could do a round-robin setup for each coast, along with the failover in case things really get dicey.
What do you think?

I prefer multiple option.
Failure is success if we learn from it.

Why would anyone make the server management harder? Because that's what'll happen. That's not wise at all. Go with one quality VPS. For example, one good VPS from LiquidWeb will be far better than several cheap ones. You can get a nice VPS for $50.

I would say, something between them, not very cheap and not very expensive, maybe you can divide it to two VPS

For $50 you can get 5 decent VPS'es at $10 each. Place 2 on the coasts and 3 inland should work as a good failover network. Also don't forget to check the VPS offers section.

Are the 2 VPS's on the West and East coast mirrors?
Perhaps that's redundancy enough if they are. If one goes down then sure that coast has a little more latency until it comes back up but it doesn't seem like that should be a deal killer unless it is mission critical that the response time is very low.

I want to add this:

I would say go with a few VPS from reputable providers. The more servers you have to manage, the more there is unnecessary overhead and possible points of failure.
