I have been using DELL 2716 for OF+ESX tests.
Under GBP £100 for 16 ports of GigE - its usually on special offer 2
months out of every 3 or 4. (see below for reasons why)
Theres an 8 port 2708, but only slightly cheaper.

This works well, VLAN Jumbo Frame. Link Aggregation support etc. Very stable.
Web Managed Switch - Web GUI only, no SNMP support.
Solid GigE performacne and operation - but the management is pants.

Just 2 problems, which may or may not be an issue for you - depends
how often you want to "manage" it;
(1) Web GUI doesnt support IE6 IE7 Firefox2 (!)
(2) CPU for GUI is incredibly slow, but this is only fduring setup,
doesnt affect wires speed operation etc.

I use these a lot, we just set them up once and forget the management
after that, isnt that what you normally want from a managed switch
anyway?
