When considering the IPv6 product, I would suggest you read USGv6-Revision-1 (1) to define the specification you need for the product. Then go to the USGv6 Registry (2), select the features and read the Supplier Declaration of Conformity (SDOC) to ensure that the product meets your requirements. Do this prior to having the discussion with the vendor sales.
Also, ask for documents which provide details on performance and security testing. It will save you hours of troubleshooting problems and patching vulnerability.
