Cost effective 1G BGP edge router?

I need to replace an old BGP edge router that's getting a bit long in the tooth. What's currently everybody's favorite BGP edge router with 1G ports?

I need full routes on this one, as the backup router only takes defaults. I'm not picky, but I'd like to avoid using Mikrotik or Ubiquiti. Refurbished or eBay is fine.

Current setup:

  • 2x upstreams at 1G each, full tables
  • IX with less than 300k routes
  • total peak traffic across all interfaces less than 1G

In this particular case I really am fine without an upgrade path to 10G. 1G interfaces are more than enough and will be for the forseeable future. Also I'm looking to contain costs by using 1G interfaces.
