[j-nsp] Best route reflector platform

Which Juniper platform would you pick for a dedicated route reflector?

It does not currently seem obvious which Juniper router is best for
dedicated route reflection duty for an MPLS network. It seems that the
obvious choice used to be J-series; are they still fast enough in 2013?
What about SRX?

Dedicating an MX routing engine to the task seems a bit silly,
particularly since it would probably have to be an MX240 due to the
limitations of the MX80 RE.

On the Cisco side the answer is ASR1k, but it seems less clear-cut with
Juniper.
