Hi!

I've heard about everything, but worked with ISA only. For good
web-proxy solution you need consider:
 - failover
 - good reporting
 - good caching
 - antivirus on proxy installed
 - possible WCCP support
 -integrating with your user directory
 - easy management of access groups


ISA seems the cheapest and easily integrates into AD structure, but
you should work hard to implement other features. If you're going buy
Blucoat or webwasher you should take very good care about support.
