The option's are nice, had a Raptor1+ for a long time. Ran Windows Server Edition 2k3 on it, not too much, but I have little to no knowledge regarding Linux, so that was kinda an easy way out.
As stated, it depends on how often it's used by the other users and what they're doing with it as well, but you'll get decent to good speeds off of it. It works perfect, but as soon as you start doing a couple of things, for example trying to create a torrent whilst another is hash checking can take some more time. Plus, don't attempt to browse whilst doing the above, as that will slow down everything even more. Should work way faster on Linux though. Other than that it's a nice setup.
Recently ordered a dedicated server there though, as the amount of HD space on the Raptor+1 is just too little if you want to keep uploading and have some remaining active torrents. Much better
Might want to check it out, it's a little more expensive + setup costs, but you'll get more. Definately worth it.
Already uploaded 1.3TB and that's without fully utilizing it, within 7 days
Edit:
Regarding the options;
Billing Cycle: your own choice, the longer the cycle, the less you pay
Management Service: not really necessary
OS: your own choice, use Linux if you have the know-how, otherwise go the safe road (as I have) and pick Windows
Connection: same, the higher the connection, the higher the speeds you can reach. Remember that you won't always gain the extra speed as that depends on the other peers.
cPanel: either this or PLESK if I'm not mistaking. PLESK comes free (for a number of domains) and works just fine
PLESK: comes free with the package for a number of domains, works just fine
Other: not necessary either
