I would suggest that the HWIC-2FE would be very good for your requirements. You can use this link to get more information about it

I just want to mention, a 3825 doesn't have the performance capacity to fully support even a single gig interface let alone four.

Knowing this, this might be a reason to go with the dual FE routed ports as Rick suggested.

Another alternative, would be use subinterfaces on a built-in gig port to a VLAN capable switch.  (NB: or you might Etherchannel your two built-in gig interfaces and use logical subinterfaces on that.)
