Using a cheap POE switch. I'm pretty happy with it since it's cheap. It's a bit noisy with a small load would be my only complaint - I suspect it's the same volume at full load. No management/layer 3 features on mine nor do I want them. I don't know if L2 only means you want management or not.

Same experience here. So far so good and their TAC is efficient.
I had to disable MCLAG settings due to a strange behavior with multicast. Something that appeared unpleasing- at least to me - is the fact that the separate MPLS license doesn't support PIM when activated.

Wondering if anyone on the list has any experiences with fs.com Ethernet switches that they are willing to share (good or bad)?
We're looking for some cost effective L2 only 10Gb-T switches and their S58XX switches have come up as a potential option.
I set up a couple of S5850s for a sever cluster recently, with MC-LAG and a bit of L3 for a management network. They worked fine.
The only issue I had was getting ACLs applied to limit device and management net access; they had a couple of extra steps needed. The typical IOS-ish "ip access-group" command is accepted on an interface, but it doesn't actually work that way - you have to do a policy-map that references a class-map that references an access-list, and then apply the policy-map to the interface.
Also, putting an ACL on "line vty" only applied after authentication (so you could SSH and authenticate, only to then be denied access, which makes it susceptible to password scanners). Instead you configure an ACL on the SSH service itself.
