I used to run several non-exit relays on DigitalOcean, the diversity of their network I find is good enough, I ran several in North America, Europe and Asia so I would say that in my experience, DO at least is fine to use as a non-exit provider. They also have a very good network, you can easily get 120MBps out of them.

However, I wonder if there are enough people running non-exit nodes on these providers due to their large scale, such that more doesn't really help due to the lack of overall diversity of the network. Thoughts about whether running a few Tor relays in these environments is worthwhile?

Neither is friendly enough to run exit nodes, at least as far as my purposes go.

And to be clear, my goal is to utilize and share some otherwise unused resources, not to buy new servers to dedicate to Tor. While we're also debating sponsoring or operating exit nodes, they will be on dedicated servers in Tor friendly environments.
