the patton smartnode series are my favorites.  fantastic debugging via
cli, on par with and often surpassing ios (i was able to get my first
few units fully working basically a few hours after unpack thanks to
the debug).  cli itself has a few oddities but i find it pleasant to
use overall.  support team is small but very helpful and responsive.

adtran i think unabashedly strives to make their cli as much like ios
as possible.  if you're comfortable with cisco gear, then you should
have no trouble configuring adtran.  there is a web gui also that
compares very favorably to the competition's (helpful when you have
low-skill support staff logging into on the devices).

the cli on the audiocodes gear is kind of amazing, it seems like a
throwaway project from someone's college operating systems course.
