Hey,
My experience with VirtualChassis with a lot of them (you know where) is
globally positive. In fact I dot not remember when a VC completly fail.
This is not a perfect techno but it do the job for very low cost of setup.
On EX series you have no choice, afaik MC-LAG is not supported (unless
on highend series).
On QFX I would hesitate. My tests are OK.
Running independent switches is more reliable indeed, but even with
automation tool the cost of setup/maintenance is bit higher. (and in my
actual work I have just no time to spend with network config
unfortunately).

Hey!
How reliable should MC-LAG be considered on EX and QFX series (in a pure
L2 setup)?
I had a few bad experiences with virtual chassis where a hiccup usually
translates to both switches becoming unavailable. This is pretty rare of
course. MC-LAG would avoid those coordinated faults but is it otherwise
as reliable as virtual chassis?
Thanks!
