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.

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
