From my personal experience, I am a fan of pure-play DDoS mitigation service providers (e.g. Prolexic, Dosarrest) because they are the least likely to give up on you when things get real difficult. Read the SLA careful to make sure it is fit for your purpose.

The 3 major scrubbing vendors:
Prolexic Verisign Akamai
IIRC, CloudFlare claims to the same capcity of DDOS mitigation as Prolexic (500gb) and also has a free option with fewer scrubbing features. Do you have experience with it, or is there some other reason to have excluded it from your list? I apologize for my noobish question. Cheers, James
