>> N1 Which router should we purchase? >Pick your favorite. For what you're looking for here, everything is largely using the same silicon (broadcom chipsets).

For switches, yes. Many of the switches share the same merchant silicon Broadcom Trident-II, Tomahawk, et al., however there are switches like the Juniper EX9200 which isn't baed on merchant silicon. Routers (N1) are also not typically based on merchant silicon (Juniper Trio-3D for example).
