Your biggest issue will be support and associated costs. they tend to position themselves as a cheaper option in the begining but in the long run you end up paying more for deployment, support, spares & training (not easy to find guys with extensive Huawei background off the shelf as you would with cisco + Juniper).
I run a mixed network Huawei NE40, NE-40E, NE80's and some GGSN's based on the same platforms. Im happy with them but having worked with cisco/juniper and Huawei and a few other vendors switching/routing gear, I'd say go with cisco unless you have a budget for the enhanced models (NE-40E and NE-80E - I have never had issues with this apart from specialized applications that cisco won't have on a router anyway) and or your environment is lighweight .... I however have to agree that they are slowly catching up and In a few years I suspect I'll have changed my opinion.....
