Clouvider - got 50% off on their VPS from a stable company that isn't run like a shitshow and has a great network
Crunchbits - nice server, decent folks, food bank promotion was very generous of them - great way to build brand loyalty. They went a bit crazy with their auctions, I doubt they will repeat that.
Would be easier to say how the bottom five are, but I wouldn't provide it. Instead I'll give you six not already mentioned that might be worth considering, each for different reasons, but all are generally viewed relatively positively by most I'd guess. In alphabetical order:

That means work, I could roll the dice on the Providers that didn't had an outage in the last weeks if you want.
Sure, whatever works, it's all useful. At this point, all I know is the @Clouvider is da prem and @InceptionHosting is da bomb, everything else is a mystery to me.

I'll have to give Clouvider a run sometime! I just checked inceptionhost and I think that was actually one of my first black friday deals. The login doesn't work anymore but it was for a "minivps128" - so could only imagine how long ago that was. Whatever it was, it came from me lurking around here. I'll have to check them out again.
AlpaVPS I think its the most "complete" out of all of those I am currently using, however I never had to use support so can't judge that.
worthy, but limitations:
GreenCloud is nice if you don't go exotic locations that tends to be DDOS magnets.
Server-Factory is nice, but this is one man operation so no go for many people.
LowHosting/v6Node is nice if you don't need ISO in panel (or even VNC v6Node - "soon").
TerraHost is nice too, but they got DDOSed lately on some crazy core level plus this company is no go for some due to "parent" company.
Crunchbits seems like nice guys, but for me USA is meh and not enough experience/too short using those.

I like VirMach too - no one else will get me a mostly working VPS for 0.5$ per year, a fucking Ryzen on top of that.

Terrahost is another excellent provider. Nothing but good things to say about them. Their parent company "Epik" used to be good, but they went downhill in a hurry. I wouldn't ever deal with Epik ever again but I'd happily deal with Terrahost.

After the M&A I'd say so about both. It went downhill..
IH is prem, great and stable service. Naranja has also been rock stable, just like Liteserver. I don't really get the difference between those two though, looks like only the brand is different.
Another one - if you're looking for a more privacy oriented provider - Incognet is another great choice. https://incognet.io/
In addition to servers, he also provides VPN and has a privacy/security focused email and a DDoS Protected, Anycast DNS service in the works - so something different/unique to keep an eye on.
I really hated to see his promo not get the attention it deserved at OGF. He's one of the few providers who tried to set the bar a little higher than "just parrot this phrase you dumb apes" with entry to his giveaways and it didn't stand a chance when 20 other providers running pure spam threads occupy the entire front page.

Another reason me and that place will never see eye again.
I sure don't miss leaving the other place. Saw people that were banned from there here and now I come to find out you can just Beetlejuice the cool people away from there and talk with them over here?
Why I didn't sign up here sooner, I'll never know.
This is providers I have used and am satisfied with and recommend. There are too many of them, some are not in LES.
Forgive me for not being able to choose 5 providers out of many. They all have their advantages, and some providers aren't perfect. But I think they are worth recommending.

I've actually found xTom, BuyVM network to be over-hyped and under-performing. I still use both of them, but they don't make my top 5. I only just added Liteserver and HostEONS this BF so no experience with them yet.

Don’t want to rank them so:

But obviously there’s more.

So am I. Just started looking a few days ago.
Crunchbits and Racknerd seem the best. Greencloud and alpha have a lot of great deals but can’t vouch for them.
I got a Crunchbits KVM deal and it’s amazing. Free backup slot too.
I moved all my websites to Carrd, and cancelled all my idlers.
Save the earth, don't idle.

Based on my hands on experience (considering only LowEnd hosts here)
Tier 1
Special shout out to IncogNET, they are a bit on the premium side, but I appreciate what they do in general for internet/privacy.
Tier 2 (upcoming hosts in my book)
Shout out to natvpsuk, the micro instances are a very unique offering.
