We use the SonicWall NSA3600 and Barracuda Web Filter. (We used to use the SonicWall web filtering but needed more granularity.) Both work well for us. We have 2 K-8 schools and central office going through the Sonicwall and Barracuda. The Barracuda is easy to manage and interfaces well with Active Directory. It is easy to build custom lists for exceptions to either block or unblock for groups or everyone and it provides good reports for web activity.
