Novice asks "OpenBSD best firewall?"

Hi I am putting together a network in a large house/dormitory.  I am going to
be running some internet apps.  Is OpenBSD the best option to use for a
firewall?  Is there any purchaseable firewall software that I can buy that works
well and will save time (I'm also not footing the bill for this, so price isn't
as much of a factor)?  McAfee Firewall seems so gumby, but I'm not sure about
OpenBSD.
 
 Thanks for any help in advance.
