Yes, native postscript printers do work well under Linux, and you might be
surprised at how much control you get.  I have not tried a color laser, so I
can't speak for that, but I do have a duplex printer at work (HP 2200DN, I
think), and CUPS knows about all of the features of it that I could find.
You don't say how much printing you intend to do, but I purchased a Kyocera
printer based on the lower cost per page because I'm anticipating an
increase in the number of pages printed as my children grow to school age,
and Kyocera does have a moderately-priced duplex printer, the FS-1020D
(being replaced by the FS-1030D?)
