For mobile applications I've done both Cradlepoint and Cisco. Cisco is nice because everyone knows how to manage Cisco Routers. The Cradlepoint solution has some added benefits. Cloud management is nice, as is being able to look at GPS data. Also the "Wifi As WAN" feature on the Cradlepoint makes it an excellent candidate to offload video data via wifi when they are in the bus barn.
The other piece is Cradlepoint can support 2 sims in the IBR1100 and you can change carrier by downloading code. They also have a second radio module so you can have two active carriers to keep people connected when one doesn't have service. I've not played with the Aerohive solution, but I think they are Verizon only (can someone confirm?). The other company to look at might be peplink.
