Web Hosting : which cpanel would be more suitable for me?

Hostgator and Bluehost are our best webhosts and godaddy.com is the best domain registrar.

I’m planning on moving from a shared hosting environment to a VPS. I’ve got 2 VPS hosts in mind (FutureHosting and Zone.net), all of them offer cpanel, Plesk, and DirectAdmin. My question to everyone is which cpanel would be more useful to me? I’ve used cpanel in the past, but I would like to try something new. With the VPS, I do plan to host people’s websites and I would like to create more websites for myself and manage them. I am leaning more towards DirectAdmin since it has an option for creating small user panels for people. What does everyone else think?

Also, how do you determine how much RAM you need? I obviously can’t monitor my own RAM usage since I come from a shared hosting environment? How will I know if I need 256, 384 or even 512MB of RAM? Should I just start off with 256 and go from there?
