Choosing a CDN - Rackspace or AWS

I'm about to use a CDN to host my static landing pages and I think that Rackspace or Amazon S3 + CloudFront seem to be the better choise, but I haven't decided yet.

According to your experiences, which one should be the best? I'm looking for reliability, easy, speed (who has more PoPs?), or if you know a better company?

I see Rackspace has 2 solutions: Cloud Files and Rackspace CDN.

I'm not clear about the difference, I understand both are CDN, but which one would be suitable? I've contacted the Rackspace's live chat but they weren't unable to explain the differences, even I explained them what I'm planning to do.

Please help me clarify this issue so I can take a decision

I've decided to work with Amazon, but don't hesitate to share your experience

Im using rackspace cloud files, can't really say anything negative about them. I would say any solid CDN will do the job.

Agreed! Amazon is pumping out so many great products lately it's hard to ignore. Heard great thinks about rack too.

I'm using Rackspace Cloud files and all works good.
I haven't tested Amazon but I'm sure both will do fine.
