I think short of asking people's opinions (and some are more opinionated
than others), the first thing I would say is that it depends on what you are
trying to achieve.
How big a deployment? What kind of interfaces? What kind of throughput
and/or applications? How many users? What things do you want your network
to do? How many people do you have to support it, and what experience do
they have?
Outside of any speeds/feeds/features arguments, these are questions that you
need to have the answers to BEFORE looking to solicit opinions on savings,
support, etc. Because each person's experience may differ significantly
from what yours may end up being based on the answers.
Just my thoughts...

Subject: Multi-vendor expierence
I am working on a project on the pros and cons of Cisco gear over Nortel,
Juniper, and Foundry for the core network, meaning just core, aggregation
and access switches and front end routers.
Does anyone have any imput they could share of one vendor over the other in
this area as far as cost savings, support, interoperability etc?
