Any reason to limit to 2N or Aiphone?

Only due to specific client who has and uses both in various facilities.

What manufacturer do you recommend?

Depends what the customer's needs are.  Right now Axis intercoms have the best image quality for an intercom system but audio isn't the best.  If audio is the most important then it's hard to beat Stentofon. 

I am not really a fan of Aiphone as image and audio quality as sub-par and I have never once heard a user say how much they like there Aiphone system.  When I ask customers they usually have something to complain about.  

2N is interesting.  My biggest issue is you have to pay an extra license fee to turn on the ONVIF support for the video to stream to VMS platforms.  On top of that, the video quality is not very good compared to Axis. 

If those where my only options I would go 2N.
