My old Behringer Powerplay has finally caved in after 17 years of usage!
 
So, any recommendations?
 
I need it to be rackmountable and with lots of outputs.
 
I was looking at the Art headamp 6 which seems to be exactly what I want and a good price.

I use a ART, 4 X, not a rackmount.  It works nice.  I say go for it.

I thought I'd throw this at you. I just joined this band and we use this at rehearsals and some of them use it live.  Anyhow the sound is very good if you use a set of studio headphones and it's so nice not to trip over wires when you move around. The headphones will have to have the 1/8" jacks.

We have 5 body packs. I think they were $ 120 each.  Its unlimited how many people can tune in. There's a way to have 2 mono mixes using left /right. It even has a hard wire output we send to the drummer who doesn't need the wireless. We each have our volume right on the body pack. 
Lot more money than a hard wire but I'm going to start out with 1 channel for the studio and add body packs as money allows later. It will save having to constantly fix wire people yanked apart.

I have two Art 4s.  For different locations.  So great!

I also have an ART 4s that's doing it's job well.

thanks lads. Just the sort of feedback I need

I've just unpacked and am about to install a Behringer MiniAmp 800 - has 4 headphone outs with 2 inputs - individual vol controls each headphone - for what I paid it seems not badly made - shall report more once I've tried it!!

My old Behringer Powerplay has finally caved in after 17 years of usage!

I was looking at the Art headamp 6 which seems to be exactly what I want and a good price.

this is exactly the same thing I did.  I had a behringer powerplay (the one with 8 channels) and it stopped working correctly, so I replaced it with the ART Headamp Pro6, rackmountable (which my behringer was as well).  I love the ART!  works great!

I upgraded my headphone preamp to the Behringer Power Play PRO-8 about 5 months ago.  No complaints so far. 
 
 

not the same cost ballpark, but I have had a Rane headphone amplifier (6 outputs) for years, it works, sounds great, can get louder than I'd like, and did I mention it sounds great? It is also insanely flexible. Check it out!
 
I also have a Stewart headphone amplifier (4 outputs) which is no longer made, which is a shame, because it is a close second to the Rane, and it was less expensive.
 
Maybe look for a used Rane HC6? Really just amazing piece of kit!!
