Subject: [SECURITY] Next gen firewalls or IPS - who is best at AV/Malware?

I've heard a lot of good things about Palo Alto on this list, but I would like to ask a more specific question...

If you are looking for inline AV/Malware detection, what would you choose?
Is PA still a good option, or are there others?

We are looking to scan a 1 Gbps link for AV/Malware to prevent it from spreading across segments of our internal 
network.

Thank you,
