It depends on how quickly and simply you want the server up. Like, if you just want an MC Server setup and all for you, then you can probably just search for MC hosting. If you are willing to go through some hard work, you can set up the server yourself, get your own plugins (bukkit), etc.

If I had the choice of getting a VPS/Dedicated Server (they are two separate things though), or MC Server, I would choose the VPS/Dedicated Server (probably Dedicated Server) and I would put my own MC Server on it (with any plugins I want), run a website with it, and probably Chat.PY server on it as well.

Depending on the work you are willing to put into it, you can do a lot more with an actual Server than a server only for hosting MC servers.

Ooh look, my topic! 
Anyway, the only one that I've been able to get working is Shellmix, but apparently they have a ban on MC servers in their rules.
That's out of the free ones, of course.
You could use something like Amazon's EC2 cloud hosting, with a minecraft server guide here

This looks like a good idea, for a year at least.

How many slots can I have with that?

Unsure.

You should just join an existing one, most newer servers die out very quickly and it's a waste of money, joining one which has already got itself started means you already have a community to help you. Also server hosting is very stressful at times and the more players which join the more weight you have to drag.

I think she's pretty convinced she wants to get one.

Lol yeah, that's pretty much the story of my server... If you REALLY want a server, try to make something different from everything else, like I did be making a PvP server.

I enjoyed reading about cloud web server offers 

Simple web server tasks handle thousands concurrent users per cpu,
whilst a minecraft server does only a few users per cpu.

Why do minecraft servers need so much computing power? 

Check for Minecraft Forums approved hosts.
