I like the HP AMD stuff better, like the DL365, fwiw. In fact, we may be upgrading our DL145 with a DL365 for better fault tolerance (RAID, dual PS), and keep the dl145 as a cold standby.
It's hard to find anything recent, but in the past, Athlon/Opteron did much better on Linux Netfilter benchmarks than the P4/Xeons. There's no benchmarks for the current http proxy/content filter though, afaik.
