I have used Vonage in the past, and as an out-of-the-box package.  The only
real technical problem I had with it was CLI was not correctly formatted on
forwarded calls.

The reason I switched was cost and being able to play more with the options.

FWIW I am now with multiple providers (principally voip.co.uk and
voipcheap.com, ) and pay around £60 pa including calls.  I bought a
Fritz!Box at £150 and this gives me lots of the features that I had on
Vonage.  I also use Voxalot which saves me money on frequently called 0845
numbers (programmed to use the Geo alternatives), and to be honest, this
duplicates lots of the Fritz!Box functionality.

Go with Vonage if you are happy with the features and cost, AND won't want
to tinker in the future.

There are cheaper solutions, but not that are out-of-the box.

Follow-up set to uk.telecom.voip.
