Hi nostraludamus,
In fact I didn't go with webair in the end. It was incredibly difficult to make a selection; so much choice. I asked for advice on many forums, and searched to track down horror/nice stories on many different hosting companies. In the end I had eliminated a fair few due to bad stories or high pricing. Partly on gut instinct I went with DWHS and went for their $6.95 business plan. This is upgradable in case my site starts performing well, and also I could pay with Paypal, which for various reasons suited me best on this occasion. (long story).
So far I've only been with them a day, the CPanel is good, it's all easy to set up, plenty of options allow one to easily add forums, or other scripts (perhaps all hosts give that, I don't know because I haven't tried them). I'll keep everyone updated as to how the site runs, pro/cons etc.
I guess the time comes when you have to make a selection, and take a bit of a risk, fortunately it's not too much money to be risking.
One important factor I should mention, is that the fact that the servers are based in the USA appealed to me, as I'm guessed (and could be wrong) that that's where most of my traffic will be based.
