For DS-1 and DS-3 I would recommend using 7200VXR router and for the OC-n level using GSR router. You can absolutely just use the GSR for all but if you are not really taking a lot of circuits via Ethernet or OC-n level too expensive. But it really just depends on your budget, what you want to do, and what equipment you want to use. Do you need voice circuits or are these data circuits only? If you need integrated circuits you need to get a DACS.
For example to support data only DS-1s and DS-3s Cisco 720xVXR NPE-xxx / I/O-FE PA-MC-T3 (some of these for DS-1s and DS-3s) or if you wanted to take a Channelized DS-3 and break the DS-1s out of the DS-3 to run to another router or device use this setup. Cisco 720xVXR NPE-xxx / I/O-FE PA-MC-T3 Telco Systems Edgelink 100 (not to expensive brand new) If you want everything on one router get a Cisco 12008 GSR (not to big can support DS-1, DS-3, OC-n, Ethernet) and add the various line cards for the circuit type the good thing about the GSR is that they have like 4 to 6 ports per a card depending on what you need but they are expensive. If you go with the 7200VXR series less expensive but I would recommend staying in the DS-x level if you are trying to add tons of circuits. By the way you can use the 7200VXR to take a couple SONET OC-3s and of course Ethernet. As a side note the Cisco 6500, 7600, 7500 can also be used.... Hope this helps.
