MT is NOT good if you're working with large sites - in particular with large databases. They do not allow IP connections to their PHPmyAdmin tool, and they have an upload limit of 2meg on their PHPmyadmin tool, so you're stuck with FTPing SQL files and SShing to run command line commands to upload your database.
I'm not sure if their dedicated servers offer more flexibility though.
I've been happy with www.webmasters.com (I tried MT to see what all the fuss is about, and have not been impressed). Webmasters give you much more control - right down to editing your own global PHP settings - the only thing that annoys me with webmasters is that any time they reboot servers, do upgrades or run maintenance on servers, they never let their users know - so there is no time to prepare for any downtime if needed. (which has been about 5 times in the past year).
