Default Looking for a new web hosting service

We are looking for a new web hosting service for our websites.
We have two websites on separate domains.
The first site is an e-commerce website where we use Authorize.net for transactions. We already have a SSL also on our current website that we'd switch over to this new website. If possible we'd like one that offers assistance with switching a current live website to the new host. Also, in this bad economy we want one that is financially stable and has good support. It would have to be one that runs on Linux using Apache with the current versions of MySQL and PHP.
The second website is a basic Wordpress blog so the e-commerce features are not as important. For SEO we prefer to have them on separate hosting services but since it's a blog and not an e-commerce website we won't need the type of hosting service that we need for the first site.
Does anyone have any suggestions? The only one I'm really familiar with is Go Daddy.

For Blog Mastermind Members, there is a great thread that has a lot of feedback on all of the major hosts and people's experiences with them in the members-only section of the forums:
http://www.blogtrafficschool.com/for...o-you-use.html

For my e-commerce sites, I use Rackspace Managed Hosting, which costs about $700/month once all is said and done. For my blogs I am currently using Media Temple and MidPhase (ANHosting, actually, but same company). I'm pretty happy with all three.

I no longer use 1&1, Dreamhost, Bluehost, or 2mHost due to various issues with their services.

I've heard a lot of good things about HostGator and LunarPages, but I've never used them personally.

If you look at the thread that I linked to, then you'll see my reasons for not using them. Sometimes you get what you pay for.
