I've mainly used IBM and HP. Out of the two, I'd pick IBM (we use F50s and S70s) over HP. The IBM have better management tools and support - at least here in the UK.

For a Parallel Server system I'd go SP2. For a big SMP server I'd go S70. I'm curious as to why you are using Parallel Server - fault tolerance? or performance (multi instance db)? I would have thought there were simpler, cheaper solutions for FT than Parallel Server, and more scalable systems with Parallel Server for performance like the SP2. Maybe budget reasons?
