With 3GB of RAM both a 4350 and 6350 can easily handle multiple IPv4 feeds and an IPv6 feed (3GB just happens to be what I have due to upgrading from 1GB by adding a pair of 1GB sticks) If you need more then ~500Mbit or so then you would want something bigger. The MX80 is nice and has some cheap bundles at the moment; it's specced for 8M routes (unspecified, but the way Juniper chips typically store routes there's less difference in size then the straight 4x) >From others the Cisco ASR1k or Brocade NetIron XMR (2M routes IIRC) are the obvious choices.
