Computer backup - hard drive vs. cloud?

My external hard drive seems to be dying so I am looking at either replacing it with another one or moving to a cloud type service. Anybody have any experience with any of the cloud backup services? Pluses and minuses?
I have an iMac and like the way Time Machine works - although luckily have never had to use it so far. Whatever I use in the future has to be automatic and simple.
By the way, the reason I think my hard drive is failing is that my backups kept failing and the way I got it to work was to unplug the hard drive and plug it back in to my computer. Sometimes I had to switch it off and on again. Now that doesn't even seem to work.
