For ListFilter.com, I had some specific needs that ruled out most
hosts. I needed to run a background process 24/7, and I didn't want
spam filtering imposed on my mail. I ended up using Host-Web-Site.com,
and I'm happy so far (after 2 months). I think it's $28 per 3 months.

RapidEuphoria.com is hosted on addr.com.
I pay $10 / month. I've been there for 3 years and
I'm happy with their reliability. I tried hosting ListFilter.com
there as well, but quickly discovered that they use SpamAssassin,
which kills some spam (maybe 20% of it), but also kills about 
5% of the legitimate mailing list mail from Yahoo groups and
MSN groups. With Topica it's not a problem.
addr.com refused to exempt me from SpamAssassin so 
I moved ListFilter.com to Host-Web-Site, which also has 
SpamAssassin but lets each user turn it on or off.

In general, I think most individuals and small businesses
will be happy with a $10 per month host. I'd be suspicious
of hosts asking for $20 to $50 per month. Make sure you
signup with one that has a 30-day money back guarantee.
That way you can make sure they have all the facilities that
you need. The nice thing is, once you've registered a domain
name, it's very easy to change hosts.
