I'd start with a software vendor that supports both. The Cumulus Linux
docs are pretty good, and available online:
https://docs.cumulusnetworks.com/display/DOCS
Caveats for Mellanox Spectrum, and various Broadcom ASICs, are usually
listed in boxouts where appropriate. There's a whole page on *tested*
scales.
The software vendors are the ones that get access to the people at both
companies that /really/ know where the limitations are, so you're more
likely to find the best information dealing with one of them.
HTH,
