A lot of people, myself included, don't seriously consider Linode anymore given their security problems (March 2012, 2013) and infrastructure problems (Dec-Jan 2015-16).
The biggest show stopper for me is the lack of block storage, while both DO and Vultr have it.
They do, however, offer over 2x disk space in some of their plans. 80GB in LightSale and DO vs 192GB in Linode
