VR is fully dual stack support throughout their network and a good bunch of guys.

With LINODE, they're mixed since some of the colos they are in have IPv6 (like HE, for example) and some don't. So if you go with LINODE, make sure they know to put you in a location with IPv6. (note this may be out of date and they may have IPv6 everywhere by now, as I know they were working on it)

To the best of my knowledge, both provide excellent services at competitive prices. There's a soft spot in my heart for VR because I have done some work for them and I like the two guys that run it.
