Some providers offer free migration services when you switch your service over to them. Have you looked around and found any companies you're interested in?

Keep in mind that a lot of people who post reviews only post when they are unhappy. So you will find bad reviews with most companies. So I would not base my decision on a few bad reviews. I have never used the planet so I can say if they are good or bad.

also keep in mind "no one can please everyone"
a perfect provider may not fit someone while for others it remains the Best.

And most probably won't, unless you're willing to pay extra or going with a fully managed provider. Server migrations are very time consuming, and can easily get complicated quickly, which is something a host will not want to deal with. You're much better off looking for a management company or member on these forums (try Employment Offers / Requests) to help you with the migration.
As far as datacenters go, we've been very happy with Softlayer. It's a bit out of your price range, but the extra cost is definitely worth the quality.
