PA-3220 vs NSA-5650

Looking to get some thoughts on the two products, gearing up to purchase a proper firewall for our business HQ.

A little about the network:

700Mb/s symmetrical WAN 20 remote employees that would connect via Always-On VPN

60 computing employees on-site using G Suit for mail, NetSuite, Slack, and general browsing all day.

Looking for traffic inspection, (mostly SSL as you can see) - would set the device as the default gw for each VLAN (every department is on its own VLAN)

Nothing on-prem other than Confluence and Jira and a sql data warehouse for reporting.

SFP+ WAN connection, SFP+ to stack of 5 Cisco 3650s and a SG350X that give the campus access.

Not sure if that's enough to go on for advice, but any available would be appreciated.

Edit: I've never used either product but am leaning Palo Alto with how much raving goes on about it.
