Xilinx has a very highly optimized core for the FFT. You are restricted to power of 2 sizes. Which usually isn't a problem because its fairly common to zero pad an FFT anyway to avoid highly aliased (i.e. hard-edges) binning.

The downside of implementing directly in hardware, the size would be fixed.
