Which DisplayPort Switch?

Hi,

I've posted this in the Monitors sub-section too, but in case people in here don't visit that section much I thought I'd post it here too (plus it didn't get any replies there).

I've got a three PCs that I'm trying to connect to 2 monitors, a 1440p 144hz Freesync screen and a 4K 60hz Freesync screen (2nd screen, not so worried about Freesync on this one).
The only ports I can use on each to get the full resolution at the full speed is a DisplayPort and an HDMI 2.0 port (both have the same ports).
Obviously this doesn't go so what I really need is a DisplayPort Switch. well either 2 of them or one of them and an HDMI 2.0 switch. Can't do 2 HDMI 2.0 switches because GPU vendors seem to have decided that 3 DP and 1 HDMI is the config to go for.

So can anyone recommend a DisplayPort Switch that can do 1440p/144 and 4k/60?
I'm struggling to find many options other than a LINDY one, which I've tried 2 of with mediocre results.

What about an HDMI 2.0 switch for the same job?
I believe there are a lot more of these available (probably because TVs use HDMI 2.0), but finding a good one...

Are there any other options I'm missing?

Thanks.
 
I wasn't counting on 2. I can't actually make it work with 2 x HDMI switches due to lack of HDMI outputs on GPUs. I can do it with 2 DisplayPort switches or one of each.
