Cisco is top grade but very expensive. I worked with HP at my last job and they were very nice to. The rest I wouldn't know for managed switches other than Linksys is part of Cisco, but the lower soho grade.

What kind of experience and personnel do you have aboard. I work with cisco equipment and it is unmatched in its superiority but its superiority comes from its complexity. do you have any specific needs of this switch and what is your budget. A switch is not just a switch, some can fine tune its services more than others.
