I've worked with all three. My ranking:

Packeteer: Ranks lowest, IMHO.

ETINC: Great product, great value for money especially the integrated
web cache. Their support is great - instant response 24x7. They must
be sleep deprived but it doesn't show :-)

Allot: The best product I've worked with (luckily, still working with
it :-) If you can afford it.

For small networks, Mikrotik works pretty well, but I've heard of
preformance problems from a friend. Can't exactly recall the details.

Not me.
