DEC were always my favorites, possibly due to being able to pick them up cheap because nobody "rated" them, but they were pretty solid for me too.... until the era of dirt cheap Realteks where everything had drivers and supported them, so I tended toward them, though by then the handling of collisions and lack of freaking out in packet storms weren't a factor because it was all switches, not hubs or 10base2. Meaning if your realtek gets on well with it's port on the switch it will probably continue to do so.
Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.
