Just a little gentle pushback...the preferred design should always comes down to each company's business, security, and operational requirements. What works for you or for me isn't the best path for others. The great thing is all of the choices here work, work well, and are supported configurations, with obvious tradeoffs that need to be considered.

And the great thing about BIG-IP is that you have granular options to route or SNAT  I've seen folks move to BIG-IP just because their previous platforms were all or nothing!
