The Cisco's also support T.38 gateway functions whereas Asterisk can only do pass thru. Either way you'll still need another server, typically hylafax, to receive the faxes to get them somewhere useful.
In my experience the Cisco switches are definitely the way to go for the ISDN/SIP gateway and then back it on to Asterisk for any PBX bells and whistles needed. If you've got more time and patience than money then a card in Asterisk for the ISDN gateway is an ok solution.
