I have seen F5's really mess up SIP signaling on a few deployments. They have some basic SIP features but if the NAT stuff gets complex they were not always rewriting all the headers. When pressed it seemed like their support had only done a few SIP deployments and it was pretty limited.

Passing it through an Acme is ridiculously costly for the need i have, and most hardware based load balancers I am finding just aren't sip-aware, so I don't see them doing much better than OpenSER in a fail-over scenario, it would just be a different kind of ugliness.
F5s are SIP aware, but also expensive. We just got some LTM 1600s, but I haven't configured them for SIP yet. Everything else I have used them for they have been rock solid, so I am optimistic.
