Windows server host based firewalls?

Hello all,

We're primarily a *nix shop but we've been getting more and more windows
2003 servers as time goes on.  I've taken over supporting these and many
of them aren't in a true DMZ.  Currently we don't have a standard method
for firewalling them which I'd like to change.

I'm wondering what others are using for host level firewalls.  Do you
use the built in windows firewall or a 3rd party product?  Any
recommendations or what to stay away from?

Thanks!

-Aaron
