If you provider has Ascend equip, then I'd go with an Ascend box, 'cause you're apt to have less problems and your provider will have some clue about what you're using, and probably be less hostile to you if you have problems.

We're using a Pipeline 25 at my house, and it works great, but will only do 3 IP addresses (says 4, but we've had trouble). we're ugrading to a 50 w/compression, and I expect that to work just as well.
