Look in forums for legit and true reviews of companies. 99% if not all of these "Top Hosts" sites are nothing more then affiliate linkers. Also keep in mind some people who post bad things about companies may be disgruntled and bad review not warranted. Make sure to read entire threads.
I think running a search on all web hosting forums for a company's name will get you ALL the info you need, real user experiences.
