Well, if you want to pay for one SMARTS is great.  We use it to monitor 
close to 1,000 devices without any trouble.  It's expensive but worth 
every penny, IMHO.

A lot depends on what SNMP you are monitoring.  Cacti/MRTG are both good 
for tracking bandwidth usage and graphing it.  OpenNMS is pretty good 
for SNMP monitoring.
