I'd say it depends massively on what protocols, features/applications you're using or will need to use in the future, depending on what's required there are potentially other options. The MX can do pretty much anything but if you don't need a lot of functionality and just need an IGP + BGP + throughput then that potentially opens the door to other vendors outside of Juniper and Cisco e.g. Arista. If you want a mature MPLS stack then I'd take Arista back off the list etc.
