It's a laudable goal but I am skeptical it can be done in a way that would satisfy without a huge effort and a huge spreadsheet. While some items are simple ("How much space do you get at what price?"), many other items are subtle and difficult to compare.
Consider spam detection: Tuffmail had an eclectic set of features and options. I can't imagine how I'd match those up with other providers. And even for nominally similar spam-handling, it's tricky. For example, tuffmail and runbox (my new provider) both use SpamAssassin but they have chosen different SA rulesets! How are you possibly going to put this into a spreadsheet? The options both have for filtering is similarly hard to compare. And so on.
