I have to vote for Mateus too, and not just because I spent money transferring yesterday. I've been pleasantly surprised by the community since I arrived. Small, yes, but friendly and active for its size.
That said, I'm not sure how well the idea of designating a secondary RP server - no matter which it is - will go over with the "losing" servers. Certainly new players without a stake in it can be directed there, but people on Faerie and such probably won't want to pay to transfer over. I only transferred because I was new so didn't have any roots established on Balmung (well also because my slightly-newer-than-me friend missed his opportunity to get on Balmung but on Mateus we can play together).
