Depending on the type and number of ports you need, 7604 + Sup720-3B/XL 
+ "8 port GigE blade" would be a good start.

You can then grow to 6724 (24x SFP GigE) or 6704 (4x 10 GigE) later on,
if needed.

We're quite happy with our 7600/Sup720 - they have "features" that one
needs to be aware of ("no per-interface netflow", "global unique vlan
number, unless SIP/OSM is used", "WAN modules are expensive", "no MAC
accounting"), but if you can live with that, it's a fast and robust 
box.
