I can't comment directly on either Websense or Barracuda.
If you're not already part of a educational purchasing consortium, you might
try joining something like www.oetc.org to get a deeper discount on
Websense. 3x the price for a Barracuda seems like quite a premium to pay
unless you are really unhappy with your current system.
