I have not made any sophisticated solutions on on-rev. However, The servers where seldomly down for me. I was on Loki, and during the server move was transferred to tio. I don't think i've had many major downs, altho I am mostly judging it by the availability of email service (am not checking my site regularly).
I too have seen a lot of mentions of thor downtimes. It seems to me, that one is a "dirty" server somehow, at least compared to the ones I was/am on. Said that, if you worry about downtime so much, I am very sure that a single failure shared hosting point like on-rev is not what you want, not even "my" experience. Neither would of course be dreamhost, networksolutions or other such services. You'd need a dedicated machine (rack space), or a cloud based account like amazon offers. Those do cost money and are harder to set up and also need more work to maintain.
