An I/O rate of 0.1MHz to 50MHz is pretty slow for FPGAs. Any device will do.

I would recommend looking at the low-end devices. If you do not need much logic, then the MAX II devices are good (there are now MAX V devices too). There are also the low-end Cyclone series devices (Cyclone III, IV, or V).

Cheers,
