That kinda depends on your usage and preference and how you prioritize speed vs security. I forgot to mention, I've got Antivirus enabled as well. If you're only looking to match what you'd get feature wise out of a normal consumer router, DHCP and Firewall's pretty much it. The more security you enable, the lower your overall max bandwidth will be. IPS is generally the biggest hit performance wise, unless you're doing some of the more advanced real time stuff. But that's usually because your hitting CPU limits.
Do you want to use it's Antivirus or do you already have a solution you're happy with?
Do you want it to do webpage content filtering (this is separate from malicious page blocking), IE blocking kids from pr0n?
Do you need the ability to VPN into your network?
Do you need it to do DHCP or do you have another DHCP server?
I've got some performance tuning info in this thread as well as some IPS numbers: https://forums.anandtech.com/thread...le-sophos-utm-performance-bottleneck.2485531/
Also keep in mind that if you've never used a business class firewall before, it's configuration will be a bit less plug and play compared to your normal home router.
