With Heroku there's no git pull -- just push the code and it does
everything else. And no setup of the Rails environment -- it's done for
you. I've done both (though other VPSs, not site5) quite often. Heroku
really is simpler.

Site5 is shared hosting, not a VPS, right? If so, then the two aren't
really comparable -- and Rails generally really wants a VPS.

I wouldn't go for cloud computing for the fun of it either. The nice
thing about Heroku and (I think) Rackspace Cloud is that they behave as
if they're conventional servers.
