Juniper. You get production-quality software which runs IPv4 and
IPv6 nicely along together.

With Cisco, you have to run experimental software (although 12.2S is
getting in the right direction and gives some hope). Most ISPs which
are "doing some" IPv6 with Cisco tend to use seperate routers for IPv4
and IPv6 because they don't want to jeopardize IPv4 stability by using
IOS 12.2T or 12.2S. People start to become more confident in IOS 12.2S
though and begin to merge IPv4 and IPv6 routing platforms as 12.2S
looks not-too-bad.

My strong recommendation goes for Vendor J.
