switch?

[jbaannyl]

I'm in the market for a cheap 24 port gigabit managed switch.
I don't have much experience with the cheaper brands, so I'm looking for suggestions/recommendations on what to buy and why. I found these switches, which I'm considering:
Netgear ProSafe
HP ProCurve

What type of management features do you need?

Most 'smart' ones could save you a few dollars and support VLAN tagging and LACP.
