Personally have gotten sick of dealing with basically every other
vendors PDU out there but APC. APC PDUs may not have every whiz-bang
feature but they work. SNMP or SSH pretty solid. You still probably
want them on a closed management network but problems even in the wild
'net with port 22 open in my experience have been rare. Management
software upgrades are generally live, load left on/undisturbed. I
still schedule them for downtime but (knock on wood) nothing in the
last 6-7 years has caused an outage.
