It reallly depends on what you are looking for. Personally, I've been unhappy with software firewalls, and use a Linksys router (WRT54G) with a modified firmware*. It was very easy to do & cost around $60 & is at least as secure as any software firewall you could install. Plus, it protects all the computers on my network, not just the one running the firewall software.

* Here's a link to the modified firmware for the WRT54G. While the person that has put up the page has been asked to stop by the company producing the modded firmware, his posting the firmware is completely in line with the GPL that the initial Linksys firmware was released under, and is thus legal. Read the top of the page for more info.
