I am looking for a good quality 4 port switch. In the past, I have just used Linksys and Netgear switches from Wal-Mart or Staples for about $30 each. I have had decent success with these, but I'm not sure how well they perform and their life compared to others. Any suggestions or experiences?

We stick to HP for managed switches, and SMC for unmanaged.
