Need recommendations for Top of Rack switch with BGP and IPS/DoS support

We are moving from leased servers to colocation, we will run BGP to advertise our own prefixes to the upstream provider. Half rack for now.

I was first thinking about a classic pair of routers with VRRP and then another pair of switches with 2 NICs per host for redundancy, then I actually though:

What about if the switches run BGP and we skip the routers altogether, but I don't know if this is something people are doing and what would be the cons/pros of doing it.

Open to suggestions.

Thanks,
