DatoCMS is really impressive, but the fact is developers usually only need a CMS for clients, and clients are going to raise holy hell if the commercial CMS you set up for them 2 years ago goes out of business.
So while all things being equal I'd prefer to choose the indie business, having been down this road before I am wary. Especially since the CMS is not a layer on top of git, so getting content out and ready for another solution will not be pretty.
I learned about Dato a while ago and was pretty impressed ever since. Unfortunately I don't really have a need for it right now as I rarely do that kind of client work, but if I was in such a situation Middleman + Dato + Netlify would seem like a fantastic combination.
