I'm no expert but here is what I know.

If you are building one (or maybe a couple) of site(s) and you are going to grow it organically and search out inbound links from other sites any hosting pretty much will be okay as long as your site has its own IP.

If you are going to build many different sites and swap links between them and build a huge network you need many IPs and different options to help you get the best out of your sites. I have read people like Matt Cutts saying you can actually have multiple sites sharing IPs as long as you don't work the same keywords for them. For example if you have 10 sites all optimized for the keywords "amateur porn" sharing an IP one of the sites may rank well and the others won't rank well at all. But if you have 10 different sites all working different keywords you could still be okay.

In the end if you are planning on building a link farm with multiple sites and many links traded between the sites, you will want to have multiple IPs. Multiple Class C's would be really nice to. the last thing you would want is to spend months and months building your network then have Google see that all your sites share an IP and remove half of them.
