I moved up from a shared to reseller when I started reselling to customers. It was immediately obvious that the server was faster and less loaded.
I would also guess you are less likely to have punks on them doing stoopid things with scripts !!

I have one of my domains set up with Google Mail and it works great. The email is me@mydomain.com not me@gmail.com

For personal or small business, I can't think of a good reason not to use the free version. The pay offers more storage space (6+GB on free version, the same as whatever GMail is at at any given moment) plus additional tech support options. No ads in your emails, nothing to indicate to your clients/family/etc that you're using Google's mail.
