I don't have experience with EC2, but I do have experience with Amazon S3. It works great, very reliable and easy to use. You basically outsource a lot of storage worries for a pay-as-you-go price.
I do have the same concern about costs. All I want is for Amazon to provide a billing cap: Stop providing service when my monthly cost is more than x dollars. They don't offer that, despite the community screaming for that feature for over 3 years.
