I think it if simply a speed question, stay with the one server. just get as good a sever as you can

I am experimenting with photohosters.com - on hosting images for a new site (southern-cross-register.sumpy.com. but this is certainly not a speed issue, it is a convenence issue. It allows my (and me)users to have full control of their images. I am also interested in the text and OBL's text links. It should also prove to be a time saver for me, as I need not handle the images. It also gives users submitting images, a better sense of freedom and control (this is an important factor for my users). I am also interested in comparisons between search engie approvals, of linking to off site images. (just playing around)

There are a huge number of factors when deciding the many ways you can construct a web site, I can think of half a dozen reasons that would need to be 'balanced' . . I certainly do not have enough insight into your web site to offer any better than,stick with the one site if it is ONLY a speed issue.
