Depends. SRXes are (in my experience) still quite a bit away from stable. We've
had far more crashes than I'd like with them, without doing anything
particularly strange. SSGs on the other hand are a horrible pain to admin, but
(again, ime) seem stable as a rock. I assume SRXes will get betters given time,
so the question is can you afford the instability for the moment?
