Ah, the ol' dec 21555, everyone has had to use one in their lifetime...
Not bad, not great...

Not great, so any suggestions for whats better?

Everytone uses them because they're easy and just work. Sometimes you 
may need to tweak the setup eeprom, but in general they just work.
We use a pericom 7300 (can't remember and working from home today), that
is quite nice.  Not an issue with it at all. HW guy just plunked it down 
and it worked.  They have an eval board to.

The 7300 is a PCI-to-PCI bridge that only operates in transparent
mode, it does not have any I2O capabilities. I used the Pericom
cross-reference guide and they don't have a replacement part
for the 21555, or the PLX6254 or PLX6540. So, thanks for the
suggestion, but the 21555 still has it.

I didn't find any Pericom bridge that was non-transparent.
