I would steer well clear of that UBNT bridge for something as critical
as you describe.  At the price point it just screams disaster.

I've not used the Ligowave MIMO radios however I have used the LigoPTP 5-N
and I was a little disappointed.  The lack of QoS is a definite negative. 

We had one of the endpoints on the link burn out and die within 2 months.

I also had major problems with the encryption on them, which support
never seemed to be able to resolve.    When they try to link up, 
it could take like a minute and other times it might take 20 minutes 
before the link establishes with encryption on.  Unacceptable in
a carrier network.

They do however perform at the advertised 70Mbps real world throughput
in a 40MHz channel and the PPS performance is good.

If you crack open the 5-N you actually see it has a Mikrotik badged
radio in it.  

I have a pair of Proxim Tsunami QB-8100 bridges on the way for
testing.  I didn't get much feedback from the list about how these
go, but having looked through the manual, they seem extremely
configurable and excellent QoS features; they even have the ability
to inspect the contents of PPPoE frames and match on the IP packet
inside.   I will let you know how they turn out.
