The bottom-line is how it will perform during HIGH volume traffic. 
You'd better check this out with your ISP.  The smaller ones (more
expensive) would probably be better, than the high-subscription ISPs.

 My server crashed during peak periods of hale-bopp (over 1 million
hits, I never did a detailed parse of the log-file).  Subsequently, my
ISP gave me their best server with a T3 line to the backbone of the
Internet (no intermediary)

Your link to my comet site has been dropped for a LONG time, what
happened??  Hale-Bopp, Hyakutake at http://www.comet-track.com.  I'm
listed on many professional observatory sites, included ESO (which you
yourself link)

You should list my meteor site as well,
http://www.comet-track.com/meteor/meteor.html
