Suggestions for my hosting needs

I have been very happy on a semi-dedicated with WebCinch, but their unfortunate closing puts me back on the market again. I am hosting two sites which don't use anything nuts in terms of resources (static web pages created by a CGI CMS, with non-forum-like use of MySQL) or hard drive space (right now, both sites use about 0.6 GB total). The problem is I need a fair amount of bandwidth, as we currently take between 300-400GB of traffic/month. That certainly puts me out of shared hosting (and I've had enough shared hosting nightmares to last a lifetime at this point). And most VPS don't seem to offer high enough bandwidth. I'm hesitant to go with dedicated (or VPS even, for that matter), because I don't trust myself enough - I know enough to probably get around managing my own server, but I also know just enough to likely do something stupid and get myself into a bad spot, causing my sites to be down for several days.

I'd love a semi-dedicated (or a reseller where the resource sharing is sufficiently limited) similar to what I have with WebCinch, but it seems that most hosts are going the VPS route (again, without the bandwidth I need), so I'm not sure what to do. The cost isn't too big of a deal, although I'd really like to stay under $100/month if possible. And control panel doesn't matter much. cPanel would make transferring the sites easier, but I'm sure I can manage with something else.

Thoughts or suggestions?
