RE: Any suugestion for good performance managed and unmanaged swi tch

 I like the ProCurves because of lifetime warranties- never deal with 
contracts again!  I always go for managed when I can justify the expense, 
primarily for the SPAN port functionality.  HP 2848s have been bullet-proof 
for me.  HP also has an "in-between" web-managed line, 1700/1800 series- I 
haven't used them yet, though. 

I've deployed some Dells, great for the $$, but not as stable as they should 
be (tend to crash when you work the management console).  I think they are 
just re-branded D-Links, it might be better to go direct to D-Link. 

Cisco switches are expensive for their feature set and the service contracts 
are a royal pain. 

On the low end, I have always had amazingly good luck with dirt-cheap SMC 
products- but I haven't deployed them anywhere critical (yet).
