I agree with Ansgar that you did not provide nearly enough info.  The simple 
answer is somewhere between the two items you want to segment.

Two questions should be:

1.  Why are you buying a firewall?
2.  What asset(s) are you wanting to protect with it? or
2a.  What traffic are you trying to segment?

If you are wanting to isolate those 3000+ users from the Internet, you need to 
place this behind (your side) of your demarc, but between your router and 
corporate network.  That is all in theory and without knowing how your network 
is setup.
