I would go full dedicated, this way you have full processor power and arent limited.

VPS will be no good for the amount of traffic you are talking. You should go for Dedicated Box for sure.

You should go with a dedicated server. You will have full control over the server.

I'd go 10mbps or 100mbps unmetered if I could... game servers don't do that well on shared bandwidth servers as far as I can say

you could start with 2000GB/month, and see if you need to upgrade after you test that.

Yes, I agree, think about the CPU too, and at least 2Gb ram. All this will do good for you :).
