We used Sendgrid because in additional to transactional email, we needed parsing and events. Sendgrid was just the biggest name at the time so I chose it.
All the Sendgrid competitors offer the same functionality for lower prices now, so there's little reason to choose Sendgrid today, in my opinion.
I can't find another email provider to give out dedicated IP addresses for less than sendgrid. We whitelabel a lot of our service so this is a significant cost.

Use Sendgrid for my previous company (http://matchist.com) and using Mandrill for my new one (http://getdonald.com).

Ah, we didn't need dedicated IPs so not familiar with those costs.
