For Branch Routers, please check Comparison of Cisco Integrated Services Routers: (1800,2800,3800) vs (1900,2900,3900) vs 4000
Cisco 2960 vs 3560 Switch
2960 series switches are L2 only switches. Meaning that you can setup VLANs but you won't be able to route between then. 3500 series switches are L3 switches. Hence you will be able to route between VLANs. Basically between 2960 and 3560 main difference is Layer 3 capabilities on the 3560 range.
