If I change, I'm going for Zen. They are slightly more pricey than other providers, but my experience of them has been excellent. We have set up two remote sites at work with 512k and 1Mbit connections (the standard home account, not the lower contention business service). Never have any problems, and never seen any drop off in performance. 3 of my colleagues at work who use them for their home internet connections have had the same good experience.
Like you say, also get a static IP which will be useful.
