I've been using a cheap Iogear one with usb connections. Its price was around $30 and it was one of the cheap ones. If I bought a new one, I'd get something a bit more expensive. The one I have works and all, but it has a tendency to "freeze" where it switches the screen but not the mouse or keyboard. It's kind of a pain, but apparently not unheard of with the cheaper models.
However, since the screen swap worked perfectly, I went about solving the mouse/keyboard problem by using the KVM switch just for the video, and running Synergy (Windows/Linux as server, Mac as a client) to share the mouse and keyboard. This worked perfectly for me.
