@olutesam you've asked this question recently, but you never responded https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/need-help/td-p/4707787
It depends.... how many users will this firewall support? What is the bandwidth?
You say it's a small network, based on that information you probably want to look at the Firepower 1000 series hardware. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/security/firepower-1000-series/index.html the ASA hardware is End of Life (or near).
Have a look at the hardware specifications in the link above, from there you can determine which model will suffice.
This Firepower 1000 series hardware can run the ASA software image or the FTD image, this FTD image has the Next Generation Firewall features - which the ASA software image does not.

ASA going to be end of life soon ( some model already gone)
Future is Cisco Secure Firewall (aka Firepower/FTD)
suggest lower model 1010 is good to start.
