Hosting Software - cPanel, Plesk, others?

Question

What hosting software have you had the most success with?
We're having horrible problems with cPanel right now, and I
would like to
confirm it's our host, rather than the software itself.
I have used Plesk, and never found it really lacking, though
I have not had
extensive experience with it.
What's yer thoughts?
TIA,

mind....)
