I had Bluehost for a while and they aren't great for Rails sites.  They 
were fine for my low traffic personal site, but I was also in charge of 
a fairly high-traffic Rails site that didn't do so well.  There would be 
random fcgi failures, and their CPU time limits are pretty restrictive.  
We switched the site to Mongrel on hostingrails.com and it's been much 
better.  I don't think there's anything Bluehost had that hostingrails 
doesn't, and hostingrails also has subversion support.  Hostingrails is 
a little more expensive but I think it's worth it for serious Rails 
development.  (Yes, it has PHP and MySQL, too)
