Not sure what you mean by a local colo. Do you mean at a local hosting company? Are they reliable? Do they have good support?
While HMS has had downtime, it has been minimal, at least for us, and from my limited experience, I would say that they're coming in at a close second behind rackspace in both terms of uptime and support. The colo there shouldn't run you a lot more then $1500 a year, excluding the cost of the hardware.
