I like the Linksys/Cisco phones. They are not that much more than the Grandstream ones. I'd need the top-end Grandstream one, GXP-2000, which I've found for $99 (I need POE and an ethernet passthrough). The Linksys/Cisco SPA-942 can be had for $60 more. That's not bad in my book...
I'm really happy with the Linksys phones....except the wireless ones!
As for the FXO cards, the x100p (wildcard as they are called) can be found for like $15 on ebay. However, I've heard of people having problems with three or more... so you may want to look at the external FXO options for 1 or 2 of the lines.
Of course, you could always ditch the PSTN lines in favor of VoIP trunks
