HostGator is excellent.
On a related topic, with any virtual host, even including VPSes, there's an element of luck involved depending on whether your site is on a heavily loaded server or not. Also, even just a handful of users doing development / script testing can easily bog down a server...
Better virtual hosts set and enforce limits, along with constant monitoring - HostGator appears to do an excellent job keeping their servers running smooth, but it's not perfect - some occasional sluggishness and, also, though very rarely, page not found / connection timeouts.
Rambling on ... point is virtual hosting is always a tradeoff and hence even the best virtual host places will have issues - key is how frequently problems occur and how well they handle them when comparing such services.
