I use ISA, and it has been working fine. We are in search of additional reporting tools, however, as our existing ones are not enough - that includes the built-in reports for ISA itself. Oh, and Ms Mittens, I think that 512 MB may be the minimum, so it would probably depend on the amount of users that are being piped through the proxy. Maybe your friend should bump it up to about a gig. Just a suggestion. But honestly, our internet connection seems just fine.
