I'm also wondering how you'll become recognised as an authorative source of information on this subject without spending a fortune on hosting at a number of different providers.
The only way to know what a hosting provider is really like is to host your important site(s) with them - even then, a review of anything (particularly hosting) is always going to be highly subjective. The most important point is that different people have different needs and expectations from their webhost - otherwise when someone asks the usual "which is the best host" question there'd be just one answer.
It's much more complicated than that, and the "best" provider will depend on many factors - a lot of which you can't begin to imagine as just one person with one set of needs (i.e. the easy one to consider from someone else's point of view is budget, but beyond that you can't know a good RoR host if you've no interest in RoR, and can't know a good Managed VPS provider if you love managing your own servers... lots of things like that are difficult for one person to cover comprehensively enough to be recognised).
