Firewalls: Fortinet, ASA, Palo Alto
Route/Switch: Cisco, HPE/Aruba
Wireless: Aruba, Cisco, Meraki

Personally I love Fortis for firewalls and SDWAN, Huawei for routing, switching and WLAN. Clearpas for Auth. I do not have a lot of experience in different Monitoring softwares but am quite used to solarwinds.

Anything using SNMP, SSH, and NetFlow gets me what I need. Oh, and easy packet captures.
