I've written a book about WordPress and have installed and
maintained MT for a couple of big name companies. I'd be happy to
chat with you, if you're interested.
I must admit I'm surprised to here you're suffering from so much
downtime. MT pushes out static HTML files, which is one of its big
strengths, so unless you have a wacky plugin working on every page
(or lots and lots of traffic) your blog should be pretty stable.
