The fact that it happens pretty predictably means it probably won't be all that hard to diagnose. The hard problems happen once every few months.
You mentioned you were happy with Phatservers. Mike has been doing server administration for over twenty years and hires good people. You also mentioned Webair. Try getting Sagi on it. He's good, but as you discovered, he has several junior employees.
Sometimes when a hosting company can't figure out a problem they call us in. Occasionally, they get us to do all administration for a big client. For example we used to manage a well known adult forum's servers. The owners of the large forum dealt with the hosting company, who forwarded all of their tickets to us. Some people skip the middle man and have us administer their servers, either hosted elsewhere or with us.

I recently had to drop a server with burst.net becasue there was a hardware issue causing my network connectivity to simply drop with no explanation. They kept insisting it wasn't hardware so I left. Exact same setup runs fine elsewhere.
