Hi Joseph,
Cisco routers ISR G2 can be a good option for your requirements such as 2921 or 2951
however the best option ( but more expensive ) is Cisco ASR1000 as ASR can provide hardware and/or software redundancy aka inbox redundancy and in your case you are terminating two Internet links and connecting to 35 remote site to this router making high availability important eleemnt
unless you use two ISRs instead of one as edge routers and each Internet link terminate to one ISR and they can work in active/standby for VPN
switches
you can use any of the options below:
2960 ( stackable )
3560
3750 ( stackable )
please note that you could use Cisco ISR G2 with etherswitch model in the router itself as an option as well ! that provide:
16, 24, and 48 ports of GE or FE LAN, Local line-rate, Layer 2/3 switching, Same feature set and roadmap as the latest Catalyst 3560-X/2960-S switches ( no POE+ "30w")
hope this help

For 10 Mbps router, 890 or 1921 should do although beside two Provider Connections, you didn't mention what media to support or what's needed for inside facing.
For a switch, 10/100 or 10/100/1000? Uplinks? How much POE per port and total?
