Minimum C3845/512MB, your choice of C7200 is highly recommended. There are 3 models in C7200, I recommend choosing between the two VXR - depends on the interface/modules that you need. Take note that the idea of core router (IMO) is to forward packet as fast as possible, so don't put anything in your core router that will affect its performance and uptime (i.e. running too many unecessary features in the core router will downgrade performance and vulnerable to bugs - hence keep making IOS update).
