Depends on your security and network requirements. Each has strong and weak points.

This is more of an hardware capability question.
If your router running Cisco IOS is fast enough to handle the PPS for the throughput, then use IOS firewall.
If your router is not too powerful and it already has other things running such as NAT, ACL, PBR... or anything else that is process routing vs. route-cache. It may overwhelm the CPU of the router, get a dedicated PIX/ASA to protect the edge.
