Ive used Xirrus for a few festivals and hack-a-thons and they worked great.

Ive also used UBNT UniFi with great success at numerous events, mainly at
the old SF Mint (completely made out of Granite and concrete) and RF
penetration was awesome.

Cisco is nothing to write home about and is over priced. Ive never used
Ruckus but it looks to be expensive for what it does.

I'd stick with UBNT and Xirrus.

having been in the back seat for many deployments over the years with
all sorts of kit, i have seen great and reliable pretty large
deployments of all of the above (well, xirrus only once).  i have seen
embarrassing messes with all of the above.  i have concluded that the
critical component is the engineer.
