We want to replace our current setup with something new which can use T1 as
primary and DSL as backup/load balance.

Currently we got a 1700 ISP router, a PIX506E, and internal 1700 router with
ISDN dial backup.

I'm hoping to replace all of this with one box which would automatically
failover to the DSL, or even better, load balance the T1 and DSL backup so
they are both always on.

Suggestions please?

What happens if this one router fails? Not much high availability there.

Good point! Well, we live in what we call sorta HA which means we have some
backup equipment in case of hardware failure.

You could configure OER:

Or use multiple default static routes.

The risk of an equipement failure is normally very much less than an internet link failure.
