I've been an OLM customer since 1997 and OLM is better than the majority of webhosting firms. The two things that stand out are technology and price.
Over the past year, OLM made improvements by introducing new hosting technology labled "VDS" or Virtual Dedicated Server on Linux i686 servers. The Web GUI is HostingDirector 3.5 provided by sphera.com. The packages come with "value apps" like Webalizer for configurable statistics tracking and reporting, Perl, FrontPage 2002 Extensions, GNU Compiler, Mod PHP, Python, Neomail, Mail Form, CreditCardPHP, Verisign SSL, Open SSL, MySQL, My SQL Libs, PHPMyAdmin, etc... Although great for experienced Linux users and Webmasters, this amount of technology can be daunting for beginners. Customizing the value apps and Apache configuration settings requires knowledge of Linux/Unix. Also, don't expect 100% uptime. No hosting company has 100% uptime, so don't let occasional problems like backbone issues that are beyond the control of OLM get you bent out of shape. If a webhosting company claims to have 100%, take that with a grain of salt!
OLM has stayed very competitive with their pricing. Publicly OLM lists basic hosting from $9.95 to $29.95. However, the also have specials below these prices ranging from $7.95 to $24.95. I recommed the VDS-2 package -- you get a unique IP and the ability to host 5 additional domains. Overall, the packages are kick-a$$!
