What is your preferred data center for US dedicated servers?

I am just wondering from personal curiosity which data center (or at least which city) do you prefer to use for hosting dedicated servers and colocation?

Data centers location can increase your servers performance. Thinking that, we have setup our servers in 3 cities of United States. Which include -

Manassas,
San Francisco
and
Dallas

Los Angeles, Denver, and Chicago are my preferred locations.

- Los Angeles: great for transpacific connectivity. As the world population skews towards Asia, it's good to pick a location that works for both the population and where I'm from (USA.)
- Denver: It's nice to not have to worry about natural disaster. If you're somewhere like LA or Miami, there's always the possibility of an earthquake or a hurricane respectively.
- Chicago: Centrally located in the US, it is the best (in my opinion) at servicing the US. It's reasonably close to NYC (latency-wise) while not over-committing to the east coast.

So depending on the project, those are the first 3 I look at.
