Thanks, Jeremy

I went with spot prices. The day that I set up my server on EC2, the spot price was $0.004/hr. I also set the ceiling to $0.015/hr. I thus was able to set a limit as to how much I want to spend per hour. I can also monitor my usage via my AWS profile to see my month to date billing. So, it appears that this is the least expensive route to go while experimenting.
