Personally, I don't like the PIX. It has a slew of issues, and Cisco isn't 
doing a very good job of supporting the platform.

I have no experience with SonicWall or Intrusions PDS.

Netscreen is a great firewall. An important feature for you is that is 
supports "phone home" configuration, so you can centrally manage (configs 
and firmware) them even if they use DHCP. Their little boxes also support 
real routing protocols, and you can get one with a serial port for dial 
backup. The 5XP/5XT only have 2 security zones. The 25 has 4.
