The Netgear is a low choice: not manageable..good short term solution if $$ is an issue, but if your overall IT department may not like it cause they won't be able to see or management
Dell - they make good pc's but their switches, on a good day, stink. They OEM their products from Accton, if you weren't considering Accton (or rejected them) why consider a Dell?
3Com - other than their lack of cohesive management, not a bad choice.
The top 5 switch manufacturers are:
Cisco - best in the enterprise
3Com - 2nd place - but their overall strategy concerns me
HP - good feature set for a good price for the enterprise or middling SMB company
Linksys - good products in the lower end of the SMB
Extreme - up and comer
These are rated in no particular order and are my opinion only
