What do you mean by "hardware" options? There are no ASIC-assisted SIP load balancers out there. :-) The embedded "hardware-based" options are load balancers built just like PCs - often on top of a UNIX kernel - that run a software application-aware load balancing suite.
Your best bet is a proxy for the round-robin part, and Linux-HA for the high availability of the proxy, as Grygoriy suggested.
