Also Cloud for the most part is just a marketing term, in most cases you are just on a scalable shared server or blade at best. We have cloud on every server but don't play into the latest cheesy marketing ploys. Bottom line if we have one of the fastest and most reliable hosting services period.
I would do a dedicated for sure, and make sure they have good DNS and Quality redundant networks.

A true cloud.. is something like pistoncloud.com where it is completely autonomous and can run itself/heal itselfand has really no single point of failure.
A "cloud" has its uses but needs to be setup correctly the average person running a "cloud" server is going to get worse performance across the board. Now if you have a system in place that can replicate itself, push code to new nodes, self deploy and scale.. i.e load balancer/redundant frontend then yes it can scale and work wonders... its all how its built just like everything else in life.
