Depends on many aspects; performance, management, and logging features. I personally recommend Checkpoint FW-1 Express for a smaller site if you want easy configuration and a great logging interface; though the pricing may not be what you are looking for. Cisco PIX is also great but the management and logging aspects in my opinion are not up to par with Checkpoint on the lower price end (i.e. Without investment in other management tools). It goes back to what you and anyone supporting the platform will be comfortable with.

Some people swear by Pix, others swear at it a lot. Also I have heard good things about Netscreen. Or any others you would recommend for protecting servers on a busy network. Don't really need anything with VPN just the standard http, ftp, ssh, https, type traffic up to 100mb throughput. From what I have heard a proxy firewall would be best? Thanks in advance!!
