For me the most important thing would be the hosting provider reputation and support that is offered.
See Every hosting provider can provide same hardware(ram,cpu etc) but what differentiates them is after sales support

I think it is about provider. If the provider is good and offers quality, reasonable priced VPS hosting plans with good support, then all the feature in the services should be pretty good, or at least above average.

Well it has to be a correct mixture of all listed features and definitely support would have edge..
My understanding is that if hosting provider is good then you should not require support often Wink

Another couple of major considerations in my eye...

Virtualisation Technology - i.e. Xen vs OpenVZ. It's MUCH harder for a provider to oversell on Xen, and so you generally find you'll get a better service compared to OpenVZ VPS which are more often than not oversold (but sometimes cheaper).

Environment redundancy. You're going to see more and more providers who are providing VPS on a redundant hosting infrastructure. Then your server will have automatic failover to alternative hardware, in the event that the core node the VPS is on fails.
