Let me 2nd the mighty mo! We went with them, and had our cabling contractor pre-wire the switch faces to patch panels. They're really nice--probably the nicest rack system I've worked with.
I'll give a hearty second to prewired patch panels. Even with the best cable management systems, patching directly into the switch is likely to eventually get messy. At least with the patch panels, even if cabling there gets messy for any reason, the front of the switches stay nice and clean, which makes a huge difference if you ever have a line card swap.
