JK! Who really knows, most hosts use similar back ends. Why don't you do some speed tests here http://webwait.com/

Also find out how many sites they usually have per server and how long this service has been in business.

Then find out if they have two or three level back ups, trust me! this is needed now matter how perfect they think their servers are.

Then don't settle for anything less then cpanel it's the best control panel.

There is lots of gimmickie things and extra cool stuff as well. But this is the main stuff that will decide if your business will be strong with this host.
