I am lucky as I have 2 web servers and can host my own, as well as other peoples websites. So my favorite host would have to be myself.
The advantage to this for me is I have full SSH access to the back end of the server so I know which updates are done and which are not, I have full access to the server logs, firewall, and can run/install programs which need SSH access.
As well server loads are low (0.17, 0.22, 0.18) and sites load fast (including a forum I have with over 1100 members and 100,000 posts) and uptime is excellent with the server being up 167 Days, 1 Hours and 15 Minutes since the last major update.
Another advantage for me, as I will/do host other peoples websites, I can host my own sites for free practically.
