Need to get hardware quotes and considering straying from Cisco

I usually just blindly buy Cisco because it's Cisco, and I know it pretty well. Still, from what I read I get the feeling I'm buying inferior/overpriced hardware/software, particularly in the firewall/IPS area.

I'm kind of an old geezer and am a career-long CLI guy, but I don't mind learning something new. I don't want to stick with it just to keep me comfortable. What else should I consider for firewall/IPS, switch and router? This particular one is a small install with just a handful of servers and small internet connection, maybe 10Mb. I don't think I need a $5000 ISR for that.
