per switch port is much easier to accomplish using mrtg.  Most any
managed switch will work fine.  You might want to toss the HP switches
into the mix for switches to compare.

To do per IP monitoring, or per tcp port monitoring, the best way to go
about it is to run netflow on the router and dump it all to flow-tools. 
That's a much more involved process than setting up mrtg.
