I used the Sangoma S518 card in an IBM x-series server, replacing a telco
supplied ADSL modem/router. It is obviously more expensive
than the mass-produced product, a 2-Wire unit. On the other hand, it is
well-constructed, and it did a good job in initially
connecting to the network. As for performance, it offers a definite benefit in
response time. With the external router, I was seeing
11-12 mSec pings to a university server a couple of miles away. That's very
good. But with the S518, I am getting 7-8 mSec ping
times. Quite a relative improvement. And with the server's freed-up 100BaseT
port, I gained a DMZ possibility--another win.
Digium offers nothing comparable, so I can't comment on the relative merits of
their hardware.

NO IRQ INTERRUPT ISSUES ON THE SANGOMA CARDS. THIS ALONE IS A GOOD
ENOUGH REASON.
The Sangoma cards are historically MUCH better about being
able to share interrupts than the Digium cards have been.
However, I have personally run across one (and only one) case
where a Sangoma A101u could not share an IRQ with a Sangoma
S518 on an older Dell P3 machine. Funnily enough, a T100P
had absolutely no trouble in this case.
Recently got an A200 with 2 FXS and 2FXO cards working with a
motherboard that claimed to be PCI 2.2, but would not see a TDM400 card,
so it was set aside. Digium's answer was "try another Motherboard, there
can't be anything wrong with our card" !!
The A200 works, and works well.
As a less than novice with Linux, I found the installation instructions
on their site less than optimal, but finally got it all working.
Discovered and reported a defect in their driver associated with pulse
dial on the FXS. It DID take them some time to respond to E-mail, but
once it went to engineering they came back with a fix in 2 days.
For me, the A200 is a better solution.
