If you want paid support, get it from a company that isn't just a freeloader, but actively supports Free Software -- like Red Hat, Mandriva or Novell. Each on these three companies employ many FOSS developers (several hundreds in case of Red Hat and Novell, a little under 100 in case of Mandriva -- numbers according to Wikipedia).
There are also Debian consultants who donate a share of their income to The Debian Project. Check http://www.debian.org/consultants/
