RB260GS work well for us. Full 950Mbps through it, web page, SNMP.
Super cheap, even with their expensive BIDI SFP module pairs. Only had about 2-3 fail in every 250. SFP modules have a higher failure rate than the RB260GS modules.

I dont want to waste spectrum serving them 10x10, Im approved for overhead cable. This is old power so I dont want to do copper even with surge suppression. We have a handful of 24 port hp procurves with SFP that are idle, but thats a lot of switch just to serve a landlord. Is there a good cheap media converter for fiber that would work here. Cheap being key, these switches are link 1500 a piece, but theyre already paid for, so the cheap on the converters is basically competing with zero. We do need to be able to monitor them, preferrably with a web interface and SNMP -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
