What is differences from 2960S vs 2960G?
2960S has the Flexstack feature... basically making all switches connected think they are part of the same switch, all have to flexstack for this work... probably not a added feature if all the gear is in a single rack.

The 2960G switch is solid, does have a non replaceable fan but the switch is reliable and rarely fails, our data center has thousands in production. I would avoid the HP procurve series if possible.. the failure rate we saw on them warranted us to remove all production traffic off them and put it in cicso switches. Currently the procurves are just handing ilo/drac traffic and failure rate is still high.
