You haven't specified your needs sufficiently.

If you don't need a full Internet routing table, a 3550 with EMI will
do the job just fine.

If you *do* need a full Internet routing table, you need another class
of hardware. 3550 and 3750 are out, all the others can do it. My own
preference would probably be a Juniper M7i, but that's probably another
discussion :-)
