Steven,
I don't have any experience with D-Link switches (at least not recently),
but we do use HP throughout our network, and have found them (when
configured correctly by the consultants, who cost a lot but weren't worth
much!), to be very reliable and also with a good guarantee (lifetime).
If you've already got HP switches I would stick with them for adding more.
We got a Procurve 2848 which I believe has the same port configuration as
the D-Link you mentioned and with virtually all ports used we're still
barely touching the sides on the backplane.
