A highly biased question IMHO, but my biased opinion goes with
Firewall Builder (fwbuilder) which I maintain; hence the bias opinion. I
think it really comes down to which provide the features you feel you
need for your situation. I do a lot of firewall work on my own and
client networks so I like the multiple policy compiler option of
fwbuilder. I also like the relative ease it is for me to make changes,
be they interface names or complete firewall plaform.
