However, you must realize the problems with shared hosting. Especially with Zope/Python and most other scripts running on Apache, if your processes use too much CPU time, they may get ulimited. So, a nice Xen instance gives you a fair amount of room. And you can install whatever you want. Sometimes there are benefits to managing your own configurations. You have freedom. But if you don't care, sure, use a shared hosting server.
