I'm a fan of both UniFi and Ruckus. At Office Nomads, we use UniFi and at 312 Main we use Ruckus. One key thing with UniFi is to get the PRO access points and run a controller. You can buy one of theirs, or run it on a machine of your own. 99% of the time when I hear complaints about UniFi it's because they are using the cheaper 2.4ghz only APs with no controller.
