Hello!
A 3850-48XS would work for your requirements. It has 48 SFP/SFP+ ports, so it'd have some ports left over for expansion.
It has good routing features and routes at line rate.

Take a look at the 4500-X.

IMO the 3850 is not a viable option. It's an access layer switch, not a core/distribution switch. The buffers on it are too small to be a aggregation point.
