I use filefactory premium and am very happy with them. None of my files has ever been deleted even ancient files which nobody downloaded.
However, they had their paypal terminated, so they're not paying out anything at the moment, so if making money is important for you, then this host is not for you.
For me, payments aren't that important and I want a stable host which won't delete files.
I can also recommend megashares. They also got their paypal terminated months ago and haven't paid out anything, but they never delete any files ever.
Problem is, they only offer 1 month recurring premium right now. Their 3/6/12 months plans are not available.
Bitshare claims that their files won't expire if you're premium, but I found out this is not the case and after 90 days of no downloads, they will disappear without notice. I discovered several of my older files suddenly aren't there anymore while on filefactory and megashares they're still all complete.

Yes, I already have RS premium. But with news of people getting their accounts locked, I'm always on the lookout for RS alternatives.
For me, a bit waiting time is OK, like 30-60 seconds or something, not 30 mins or hours.
Also, people must be able to download, not slot full or capacity not available.
I don't mind if free users get their speed limited as long as they can download.
