I am going to deploy one of our apps into production. I have almost zeroed down on Amazon EC2. But I would also like to know your opinion on Google Compute Engine and DigitalOcean. Please let me know suggestions.

For simple requirements, I would recommend Linode or DigitalOcean. Both gives total control of your box and requires system administration skills.
If your concern is scalability, I would go for Amazon Web Services. But aside from system administration skills, it will require you to learn AWS interface and/or console thus with the learning curve. But if you master how AWS works, scalability won't be an issue anymore.
