I'm currently using EC2 with RDS primarily because RDS provides major benefits to a non-DBA like me.

Given that I would prefer to keep using RDS, and the network latency etc., any thoughts/advise on how DO-RDS would perform compared to EC2-RDS, with everything being in N.CA/SF Zone and using comparable EC2/DO instances for running my app server?

Alternately, is there an easy way to benchmark RDS i/o from EC2 and DO, both running Linux which can help in making this decision.

I found the benchmarks in http://serverbear.com/ very reliable
