We use a combination of the above:

1 - BDD

2 - Unit Tests

3 - Internal QA department (manual and scripted testing)

Automatic regression testing is the only way to go. Every one of our builds goes through a two-hour test that would take a human being weeks - but it usually doesn't find anything as we also do manual testing "as we go". But the most important thing is to give developers the knowledge, time, space and encouragement to get it right in the first place. If your testing is finding a lot of bugs then something is wrong - it's like your airbag going off every time you drive your car.
