Access Switches (Ruckus vs HP/Aruba vs Juniper)

So for the past ~5 years we have been a brocade/ruckus shop. We had previously used cisco but dont see a need to go back in that direction. At first it was the ICX6430, then 7250, and now 7150. The horizontal/closet stacking is very useful to us, and allows us to design a lot of redundancy between our different swtich stacks (LACP/LAG's), etc.

Obviously the ride has been interesting, considering we went from Brocade > Combined with Ruckus acquisition > Broadcom (Temporarily) > Arris > now Commscope

Certainly the ICX is a strong product line and they have continued to develop and release new models, however obviously there is continued uncertainly. I know many folks that have left that i worked with there previously. We have also had issues mentioned in other threads (POE firmware corruption) and RMA problems.

We have the need for 60+ switches next year so i want to look at comparable options. Our primary needs are the SFP+ stacking and layer 2 access only, do not see a need for anything layer3.

For HP/Aruba, i believe that would be the 2930F model . I am waiting on bulk pricing, but obviously they are a leader in switching and have tons of options available.

For Juniper, it would either be the EX3400 or EX2300. Obviously the 2300 compares more to the 7150 we are using now, and for us is right around the same price. EX3400 is a reasonable amount more and could be used selectively where the case justifies the dual power supplies. We have never used Juniper products before and thus do not know Junos. However everywhere i read folks love it, and looking at the syntax it will be an adjustment but one i am sure we can make.

For Ruckus, it would be the ICX7150 that we have been using.

There are some differences in support. All have limited lifetime hardware replacement and software updates. Ruckus includes 3 years of tech support, HP is as long as owned, but Juniper is only 90 days. Juniper is also RTF after 90 days, where as Ruckus and HP are NBD for the limited lifetime of the product. However we typically do on site spares for branch offices and ship internally then RMA and restock, so that is not necessarily a huge issue.

Obviously from my reading i assume Juniper would be the most popular choice which is sort of what i am leaning towards. I did see someone mention about more common PSU failure on some models, so any conversation about folks experiences would be appreciated!
