Hetzner reviews are better, but it's important to understand that this deal hardware is of "desktop quality" and not as reliable as "standard server" one. And it is in Germany.

Brand servers won't get you reliability, only failover and replication will :)

In US servers are a bit more expensive, but you can get similar configuration for around $100/month (e.g. burstnet)

In fact I think so too. But I suppose there are some cases for some people when the brand hardware would be better.
