If you want a high quality phone, with *almost* the cheap price of the BudgeTone phones, I recommend the Linksys/Cisco/Sipura SPA-941. This is, (IMESHO) a very good flexibly-configurable business phone, up to four lines, (or a cheaper two line version, with four "line appearances"). My only complaint is that it has a light mass, and the rubber feet don't "grab" as well as they should on some desks.
I am not aware of any phones that use IAX to communicate with the * server, as IAX is "Inter-Asterisk eXchange" protocol, and is not meant for use with phone client (sip peers). I can verify that the SPA-941 works well with my * installation running on FreeBSD.

I can't even say I have the need to reboot them (or else my users haven't told me about anything).

You can have a look at http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/VOIP+Phones for a fairly comprehensive list. I have a Grandstream BudgeTone 101. The only problem I have with it is that it needs to be reset occasionally for some unknown reason. Other than that I like it. It's certainly one of the cheapest.
