I want to buy a stove; however, I can't make up my mind. My goal is to have an ultralight base pack weight. I have it narrowed my choices. I like the idea of a alcohol soda can type stove for its light weight and ease of obtaining fuel. I worry about the reliablity of this type of stove. can anyone tell me if the benifits of the jet boil out weigh the price and weight difference of the alcohol stove?

It all depends where you use your stove the most. I do a lot of high elevation camping & alcohol doesn't seem to produce enough BTU's. So I would definitely choose the canister stove for both performance & reliability. Initially you pay more but you get more in return. I spent several weeks in Mexico using this stove. Carted into a cave for a week and the stove proved itself very reliable. It started every time, boided water as quick as any other.
