F5's products are great.  If you want a BIG-IP system though, you can buy
it from Dell and save a ton over F5.  They offer a nice ssl hardware card
that will offload the ssl from your web servers if you want (makes clusters
easier as you only need worry about 1 certificate in 1 place, and speeds up
the web servers).

Just one biased opinion though.
