Setting up php-mysql-based web application on EC2 / linode

Question

I have a new php-mysql based web application. This is the publisher / advertiser platform, so I can expect a lot of traffic if everything is in the right direction.

I am considering two solutions for hosting the site: cloud (ec2) and vps (linode). EC2 looks like an expensive provider compared to linode. Let me know how to set up a cloud web application on ec2 at the lowest cost.

Thank,
