Best hardware choice for XG firewall home: zotac zbox ci323 vs Sophos XG105rev2

Question

What would the fastest hardware choice to install XG home on? 
 Specs: 
 Zotac Zbox ci323: quadcore celeron, 64gb ssd and 8gb DDR3L-1600 with (unfortunately) 2 Realtek nics. 
 Or 
 Sophos XG 105 rev.2 with 2Gb (expandable) with 4 intel NICS 
 Which one would give the best performance? 
 Other suggestions also appreciated!

If you go with home on an appliance, it's already a software image so RAM upgrades aren't an issue. 
 Just remember that you are limited to 6GB. I've run the stock 2GB XG105 with home and it's sluggish. Bumping the ram to 4GB and 8GB (6 usable) made an appreciable difference. 
 Cheers

Not sure on performance between Intel and other NIC's. I personally prefer and will only spec Intel NIC's where applicable/available. 
 FWIW, the XG105 uses a dual core Intel Atom E3826 (1.46Ghz).

I will keep away from low power N serials Celeron or realtek nics and the zotac one have both. 
 Current use a 3215U barebone with four I211-AT nics, and it runs pretty well
