If you want a reasonable priced POE switch I would probably go with Linksys och HP.
Linksys is probably the best you can buy for that kind of money. (Remember that kind of money)
Just make sure the power in the switch is enough to power all you phones since the power output on different switches vary a lot.

Spend the money use Cisco switch, less problems.
We have used Linksys and HP POE switches successfully, but had problems with 3com switches passing BOOTP / DHCP data after variable timeframes.
BEWARE that many IP phones use half the max power rating available, but that does NOT include the Avaya phones. With 14 IP hones you should just scrape in.
