HP-ProCurve (was before 3Com SuperStack) are also great and lightly
cheaper than Cisco.

If you buy such an managment capable switch buy an actual model!
Especially Cisco here are often sold models since 5 years+ EOL. Nomore
updates, no support, no IPv6, no service simply nothing.

If you don't use VLANs, trunking/bonding, 802.1x or the snmp monitoring
features: Don't waste your money for management capable switch. Buy for
example thumb Netgear switches. Doing exact the same job for a fraction
of the price.
And if smart or thumb switch: Gigabit! 100MBit is too slow.
