I see Janus's expenses are slightly more but seem to solidly outperform similar Vanguard funds especially the Contrarian and Orion.

Janus is generally actively managed meaning portfolio managers pick stocks and they try to beat the market.
Vanguard is generally passively managed meaning they own all the stocks in the market, with the goal of just tying the market (but doing so with lower expenses than an actively-managed fund like Janus.)
Janus has had stellar recent performance in many of its funds.

I'd suggest going with Vanguard. They are very low cost, and they aren't tainted by scandal like Janus is.
Vanguard's index funds are very good, and usually beat most actively managed funds.

I invest in all Janus funds and the scandal is overblown. I have done very well with Janus.
