There is no such thing as an across the board answer to this. I've made 
good experiences with Transition and medium ones with MRV due to a nasty
problem with LLCF on Fiber2Copper GE-conversion cards using SFPs. MRV
has its developer team in Israel so they might be a good shot for you.
Metrobility looks promising but IIRC lacks a retiming-capable card.

Contact the resellers, I'm sure they'll make a demo for you.
