Need network hardware recommendations for fiber network connectivity

I have a location that has one main building with 8 other buildings in close proximity that are all connected with 62.5/125 fiber to the main building.  Currently their fiber is connected to 10/100 switches with external fiber media converters.  i want to upgrade network to GB switches with GB fiber connections.  I also want to plan ahead for a possible voip system so I want poe switches.  I can't go too pricey or it won't get approved.  I was looking at Cisco SGE2000P and SGE2010P switches in the remote locations(some need 24 and others 48 ports) with sfp modules to connect to fiber.  The Cisco 3750G-12S populated with modules at the main office for the fiber is more than I wanted to spend.  If I do go this route are the GLC-SX-MM modules for the 3750G compatible with the MGBSX1 modules on the other end in the SGE switches?  Does anyone else have any hardware recommendations?  I definately don't want to install out of date hardware.

I second atrevido's comment.  ProCurve gear is great.
