commercial shell account recommendation

I would like to get recommendations for a high bandwidth commerical
shell account that enables ssh access with agent forwarding and X11
forwarding with a generous allowance of data transfer (10-20GB/mo). I
don't care about web hosting or IRC or inbound access to any port
other than ssh, and don't need a lot of hard drive space (200-500MB).
I would like to have access to reasonably current version of unix
utils (gcc, python, emacs, wget) and the ability to compile code in my
home dir, run a few background process, and generally do what I want
as long as I don't break the rules (ie, no hacking, no spamming, no
illegal stuff). Basically, I want a place where I can run some web
scraping code and don't need a lot of storage because I can move stuff
off site as needed.

I searched for shell accounts on google and found a number of
commercial providers. However, many seem tailored for people with a
specific interest (web servers, IRC clients/servers) and are skimpy on
the details that interest me (bandwidth, utils that are installed) so
I was wondering if someone here had a recommendation for a good
performance/price host. I can't afford to go the rackspace /
dedicated server route.

Thanks!
