Speaking of Websense I know the larger pix's tie in with it, but I wonder if the 501 does too.  If so then you've found 
your solution: Websense plus a PIX 501 fw (you can get these cheap on ebay).

I would always prefer Websense, it is the most simple, powerful device
to use.

For that small of a network, look at Cymphonix. It does traffic
analysis via NetFlow.
It also deos content management.

So, you can use it to block the traffic or simply report on it.

Top talkers, top applications, etc....

This is an appliance based solution. Not expensive.

What's more, you deserve to be hacked.
