Sophos XG - High Speed Bridge IPS/Filtering

Hi guys , I have a question for those who have done some bridging deployments.

 

I need to put security devices between a user access lan segment and server segment for compliance reasons.

At the moment they have Layer 3 switches fed via QSFP+ LAG's(4x 40GbE)  with OSPF the IGP of choice to distribute routes to the internal network.

Imix traffic is usually between 5-7 Gigabit during main prod hours but can peak higher Mon mornings with a variety of traffic ranging from VOIP,HTTPS File Uploads/Downloads and SMB Shares.

 

Would an XG Firewall in Bridged mode provide better performance than a routed firewall ? Farily strict IPS rules will have to be enabled between the lan/server segments.
