I think a big problem there is with shared hosting is that if you or anyone else on that server does anything wrong, it can cause problems for everyone.
For example, a badly written php script that gets stuck into an infinite loop can bring a server down for about a day. I know this because unfortunately it happened to me, when I was trying out a portal that looked good, its random picture script got stuck into an infinite loop because it didnt like one of the filenames that had a capitalised extension. It brought the server down for a day, but what was worse was I didnt know it was me, and it was hard for the host to track it as well as you cant access any of the sites when it happens. Although this was when I was hosted by a reseller, and they didnt have access to the server fully to resrart, diagnose etc.
But I think a consideration you have to make is one mistake by anyone there, and it can cost you a lot of business if you run a business oriented website. And with servers getting bigger and faster, there are more pepole being put on them, and more things to go wrong.
These are just my views though, a host or other people may have other views, which I would be interested in hearing.
