I wouldn't use any of them, I would setup my project with virtualenv, a requirements file for pip and a bootstrap script to run it all. Even for large projects, with lots of dependencies, virtualenv + pip bootstrap will have your environment and project set up in the amount of time it takes to make a coffee, rather than wasting your time getting to grips with a virtual machine instance.
