Not too sure about this, but 2 things I know for certain.

1 ) Each client uses about 8kb/sec .
2 ) Don't set your hopes too high. Even the most popular of servers such as Guildwars and Winters Roar hardly ever, if ever, get over 100 people on them.

You can afford $150 p/m ?! Nice.

I would say go for the least expensive one - people are able to run servers off their PC that they use for everything and support up to about 10 - 30 people.

Good luck!

line speed while important isnt realy a big factor atm. With one pc dont expect more than say 50-60 online stable. The Server itself is a cpu hungry beast.
