111 8th street in NYC where Switch and Data resides as well most of the major players have facilites established and use as their landing points to and from the world.
165 Halsey street in Newak NJ - Equinix is there as well, they offer a free backhaul over them MAN back to seacacus and have most of the major carriers there as well.
Id go with Equinix since most of the major players in the ISP game today themselves are in Equinix and makes interconnecting much easier. Also, the level of services that Equinix offers makes the total atmosphere VERY professional.
I've taken tours and had clients there and they loved it. There is also office space you can rent on site for the tech crew to work. Switch and data has the techs out on the floor at top volume, its not as pretty.
From a cost perspective, It all depends on where you want to be colocated at.
There is a deal in Miami offering free space at the NAP of the americas and BW at $40 per mbps from a carrier I know.
