I have a little rule with NewEgg. If the 4 egg ratings and 5 egg ratings are less than 80% of the total reviews, buy with extreme caution. Looking at the negative reviews on that thing, it seems to suck on the one thing you would definitely want it to be good on: the actual managed implementation. This is the one we install at most of our clients:

The problem with NetGear & DLink are that they make GREAT lowend consumer switches but they can't match the features / power of the big boys. Also Cisco, you would think by the price that this is the cadillac of network gear and in many respects it is - the reliability of a Cisco and the level of support they put behind their products is pretty much unmatched. What IS a problem with the Cisco is you almost NEED to be certified on their products even to do simple things and many times you need to use extremely proprietary software to manage them - software which doesn't get updated in a timely manner for 64 bit OS's for instance... TBH most of the people that sing the praises of Cisco get paid good money configuring / installing / supporting them. On HP, say what you will about them in other areas (hey, I've always hated their printers, too!), but their business class stuff, including their networking is hands down the best value in my mind.
EDIT: Meant to include some cons of the switch I linked.
1. The switch is actually a 22x2 not a true 24. The x2 can be used as more RJ45, OR fiber.
2. Doesn't truly stack.
