    cPanel is considerably better than Plesk on so many levels, so in my opinion you should go cPanel.

    cPanel, you'd need more than 512MB RAM though. If you have 192MB lol your site will keep going down :p

    Minimum for a cPanel VPS is 384MB in my opinion.

    I would go with cPanel or DirectAdmin if your on a lower budget.

    I also suggest cPanel. You will need at least 384 MB RAM though 512 MB is recommended to get better performance and to avoid memory related issues.

    Go for cPanel.

    Keep in mind, as the others say, the RAM requirements.

    Cpanel is much more user friendly.

    There is a cPanel version that is optimized for VPSs, it only uses up about 128 Mb, however, the more RAM you have the better, I would say 300 is a good start
