An interesting approach, if one can lay hands on it, is to be found in the
Cisco Products quick Reference Guide, which for each of the Cisco product
categories suggests appropriate situations for use, and competitor products
the Cisco product competes with directly.
Published semi-annually. There is a new one out, but Cisco has yet to mail
me my copy. Maybe due to the cost of postage and their current financial
situation? ;->

As with everything else, It Depends. In my own design books, I will
often review the options in the kinds of boxes that you might
interconnect for a given solution, but the rate of change of specific
products is so fast that book publication time cycles are far too
long to stay current.
Not :-) like courseware such as CID, which for years had a Cisco ATM
Products slide in which EVERY component had been discontinued, or, at
the very least, superceded by one or two generations.
