I am a *huge* fan of the Polycom ip501.  The 301 works just as well, but the 
display is significantly crappier.  If you've got the cash, go 601.

I have never used Cisco, but I've used the cheaper phones enough to know that 
this is one place were spending a little more is WELL worth it.  And I know 
from personal experience that the Polycom phones have *zero* issues with 
being behind NAT and talking to a public-IP Asterisk box.  No firewall 
configuration, no screwing around whatsoever.  They Just Work.
