I have a customer that is looking at using BGP for their network; one connection over a few bonded T1s, the other over a Comcast Enterprise connection (which supposedly will do BGP now). When I was dual homed a few years ago, a 7204VXR with 256MB was more than adequate.

Any sort of attack traffic will hurt this family in a hosting environment in my experience. They are good (feature-rich) in the 'branch' environment though. We are also rolling out huge volumes of Juniper equipment, and medium to high end J-series equipment is likely to vastly exceed expectations without exceeding your budget.
