Cheap and contactable by phone are my main concerns... I'd prefer it if things were "all in 1" ie the wysiwyg web builder is part of the same company that does the hosting.
The ones I've looked at so far (the big names mentioned in this thread) all piss me off by trying to get me to immediately make a web site with pretty much no knowledge of terms and conditions, caveats etc. They take you straight to a full page screen saying "Start here! It's so easy!"... trying to get beyond this to find out the real nitty gritty is very difficult. googling "best cheap web hosts" or anything like that of course takes one to sites purporting to be consumer review sites but which are obviously advertorials....
For me, cheap over rules all other factors at the end of the day.
