I should think any of those would be fine, unless Sunspot won’t work on  
Heroku.

The cheapest rails-friendly host I’ve come across is Site5. It’s like 6  
bucks a month if I remember correctly, and you get unlimited storage and  
bandwidth. I don’t think they’ve updated Rails to 3.0, but according to  
their blog that should be coming soon.

Heroku starts even cheaper ($0) and does do Rails 3.
