What nics are you using on the server end? Im looking at moving from 10Gbe copper to 25Gbe/100Gbe between Mikrotik switches and 14/15th gen Dell servers

Broadcom in nearly all cases (default Dell option, I think). Elsewhere, Intel.

You're not using DAC's ?

No we buy our OM4 fiber cables for pennies on FS, so we stock a box of virtually every length in 1ft increments.

DACs would be way more expensive to stock in every length.
