In my opinion, IOS isn't all that great for configuring large numbers of
identical ports. You have to go into each interface and set the parameters.
Cat IOS is great for that, cause you can type something link 4/1-24 for your
port range and configure all of them simultaneously.

if you go with the ios you only need to learn one command set for all your
devices.
also eventually all cisco gear will be ios based.
