Well I agree with you there r1 shared will be shared no matter how you put it, if your site gets to the point where you are getting many new members daily or merge sites with someone that has a solid db or what have you, yes definately I would always say shared is a no-no as cpu is always a factor for a server I dont care how many hdd's you have, you can only be as fast as your bottleneck. But remember he want's a starter kit basically...something to see if whatever project he is working on will be worth investing overhead in to try and build a large community I would have to assume.
VPS=Glorified Shared hosting....
It's not a debate imo.... it's a pretty simple calculation really.
VPS=Glorified Shared hosting....
A VPS is a VPS, nothing changes the fact that you are sharing your resources with others and your performance is effected by others on the server.

for $60/year you get the shared hosting account which is enough for you + r1soft backups which I highly recommend.
