I would recommend NetFlow, in my opinion is superior to IPDR. The hassle of traffic control is not worth it in the end, it will be cheaper to buy more bandwidth instead of monitoring the traffic. If it is not cheaper, that you are buying from the wrong place.

For billing, I developed an in-house platform, if you hire a programmer with basic DOCSIS skills, it can be done in about 2-4 weeks. The advantages of an in-house platform are enormous, from monitoring integrated into the whole platform to custom reporting, etc.
