Interesting that I would see Ubiquiti pop up on this list.

TheGUI and CLI are a mess. Thatsaid, they are stable, but if you don't
need 24vpassive POE, and/or 802.3at/af, then the HP has better
management options and a fully supported SNMP stack. I'm sure the
edgeswich line will get there, but I wouldn't recommended it outside of
WISP use (or needed lots of POE) just yet.

I agree with the point that managed vs nonmanaged price difference is
negligible so why not managed...
Ubiquiti is worth a look for this application. The OS is nice to work
with and has both CLI and GUI

+1 for HP ProCurve, except for the stuff they inherited from 3Com...
I've also had reasonably good luck with Netgear and D-Link managed
switches.
The Cisco SMB stuff seems OK hardware-wise, but the software is
questionable.
Note that all three of these options come with lifetime, free,
firmware updates.

I'd suggest at least a managed switch that can do LACP.
This.
Given how small the price difference often is between unmanaged and
semi-managed (aka 'smart') switches these days, it just doesn't make
sense to buy unmanaged any more. You never know when things like VLANs,
LLDP and LACP might just come in handy, and even if you never use them,
a managed switch will also allow you to do other interesting things like
graph per-port (and sometimes per-port-VLAN) usage, which can be useful
for detecting misbehaving network hardware elsewhere.
I've had decent results with the Linksys/Cisco SMB
switches and the ZyXel GS1900 range.
One of our clients uses the Zyxel switches to good effect. Their 24 port
PoE versions are certainly competitively priced.
I tend to use HP where possible. At the lower cost end of the market,
something like the 1810-24G (web managed) is a good bet, or move up to
the 2510/2520 if you need more management functionality and/or a CLI.
I've avoided the 1910 range; AIUI they're basically rebadged 3Com units
after the HP/3Com buyout.
Kind regards,
Chris
