I can vouch for their network in that they use the Route Science device which vastly improves the performance. This certainly gives them an edge. In contrast, Rackspace uses the InterNAP FCP I believe, but I'm not sure to what extent.
Rackspace is good, but as one WHT member so wisely put, it's generally for corporations with more money than sense...
