Why is EBS out of the question? Do you have an horror story to share? :)
I agree there are some specific uses cases ideally suited for ephemeral storage. But in most cases EBS gives you quicker provisioning times, snapshotting and of course persistance.
In the past, performance and reliability sucked but AFAIK this is not an issue anymore, especially with the new General Purpose (SSD backed) EBS volumes.
