Good to know, thanks!

There is a third option, There is a new hybrid of junos and
screenOS coming
available in 9.0. It uses the same routing stuff from the J-series
but adds
the sreeenOS features to the services area. Configuration is much
the same
as junos except adds much simpler setup with nat, ipsec and such.

Would two of the onboard ports each do wirespeed 100Mb,
full duplex? Are the onboards equivalent to PCI or are
they equivalent to PCI-E?
You know, I've no idea. Taking a wild guess I'd say
PCI-E. The SSG520/550, for instance, are P4/E7225 systems
with two Marvell PCI-E dual GbE chips.
Performance-wise, Juniper is pretty straightforward in
their data sheets. You'll have to factor in any additional
processing you'll be doing on the unit, but for a basic
config they're on the money (for the Netscreen and new J
series in particular -- old Jx300 data sheets quoted
performance based on a maximum configuration).

Is there a matrix somewhere that lists the differences
between Screen and Jun? As I understand it, Screen
revolves more around security, while Jun revolves more
around Layer 3, but please - correct me if I'm wrong.
That's it. ScreenOS has limitations from a "routing
platform" standpoint, e.g. 10000 route limit, no MPLS, MBGP,
OSPFv3 (yet) or IS-IS. But for appropriate installations
it's quicker and easier to set up routing, firewall, and
VPNs than it would be using JUNOS. And what Bill said.
