Most of the catalyst switches are pretty good. Some of the older ones 
have had problems with truly supporting traffic volumes that approach 
100% of a port's speed.

Some catalyst switches do have queue/prioritization. The less expensive 
ones only support three queues while more expensive ones support greater 
numbers of queues. Some support the bits in the IP packet header that 
were intended to influence priority, while other models ignore those 
bits but implement prioritization on a per-port basis (which basically 
assumes one "device" per port).
