I'm using three US-8-150W switches in a few rooms where fanless switches are needed, elsewhere I've gone for a couple of US-24-250W switches where (given that it's at home) sound isn't an issue. Other than that I've got three UAP Pros and a USG which works well with the current 80Mb/Sec FTTP with HG612 internet, if the Internet speed should increase I'll move to the next model up.
They seem to be coping well with the heat, the two 24 ports are in the understairs cupboard and the attic, both are warm areas and despite having no overheating messages I've since modified the cases and added a couple of extra fans, as for the 8 ports, two are in nice cool locations and the third is in the garage that does get warm but as yet no overheating messages - no idea why I didn't go for the 16 port as sound level isn't an issue, but at least but it suits my needs. My main reason for this setup was due to PoE being a necessity due to the APs, SIP phones, CCTV and a few other devices on the network.
When I first installed I monitored avidly the temperatures - sometimes a bit scary as it is processor temp not case temp but it's understandable why. A good bit of advice though is get more ports on switches than you need, 72 ports in all (some uplinks) and I've pretty much run out of ports.
