Currently most every phone works well, if the patch for Cisco
subscriptions gets tested then I would say any non-skype phone.

I have a snom 360, a snom m3 and a snom 870 on my desks and work with
polycom phones when the market dictates.  Cisco 79XX and newer phones
work fine until you get to the more advanced features like directed
pickup and SLA but that support is coming.

Aastra & Polycom because they can be configured using a TFTP server.
Great for large installations with centralized management.

 

Mitel 5215/5224 because they are dead simple to configure (via web gui)
and just plain work with no screwing around.

Phone Provisioning is a part of Asterisk.  It works over HTTP now and
with an FTP or TFTP proxy can work over multiple protocols at once.

https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Phone+Provisioning+in+Asterisk

I added example snom support and will have to start a review board for
adding Cisco, Aastra and others.

Of-course, there's always good old Grandstream... Read the archives for 
lots of for's and againsts... I'm one of the 'for's' ...

Just deployed a small number of their new GXP2100's too. I think this is 
their replacement for the GXP2000. They seem to be going for the "Sit up 
and beg" type phone rather than the flat desktop of the GXP2000.

They're rather nice - a bit heavier than the GXP2000 and sound quality is 
better too. Also cheaper with the same (and more) functionality. I've not 
yet gotten my head round all their fancy XML screen setup stuff, but the 
built in weather app. does seem to work when you put in he right town code 
(from yahoo, apparently!)

But a lot of people got stung with Grandstream in their early days, so 
it's buyer beware here. Personally I've gotten on really well with them 
and they've been a boon for clients who've been on a really tight
budgets
(I have a few charities, etc. on my books) I've also just re-cycled an 
office worth of 20 of them which are now 3.5 years old, and they looked a 
bit worn - the numbers seem to wear out on the buttons, but they were all 
functional. (after a cleanup!)

Watch out for the PSUs though - I have had a higher than expected number 
of failures there, but I suspect it was down to one batch of dodgyness.

My take on this is to not skimp on the phones.  This is how people
relate to the phone system you install.  Good phones will, to them,
imply a good system.  And vise-versa.

Probably I will go with  cisco 7945g I hope its support is good with
asterisk. Have you used it ? is it simple in configuration?

Polycom phones are still working well and durable as a brick.

Gransdstream phones still feel cheap.

Cisco still have the same shenanigans going on with their firmware downloads.

Linksys SPA921, SPA922, SPA941, SPA942 are also working pretty well.
