Depending on scale, if you can afford a few cross connects and the exchange port, I'd almost recommend peering with HE (along with the others on the exchange) and saving your dollars to purchase something nicer. The exchange will take care of your Akamai, FaceBook, Google, NetFlix, Microsoft, HE, etc. HE and Cogent have big and growing networks, but they are also the easiest of the big operators to peer with. You'll get customer routes (which is growing), which may chop out a lot of your traffic.
