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?
