This very much sounds like IOS XE :-)  (the ASR does hardware forwarding,
but the control plane is "just software running on Linux").

If you don't like linux, use bird on FreeBSD :-) - but to be serious, I
have no idea how well quagga/openbgpd/bird work in an ISP environment
with MPLSish stuff involved.  

If you have just untagged IPv4/IPv6 routes, bird is likely to be MUCH 
more scalable than anything $C or $J can offer - and given the torture
bird regularily gets from the big exchange points using it as route 
server, it should be at least as stable as IOS BGP (memleaks in IOS BGP?
or ghosts?  neeever heard of...).
