Few years ago I started with IPFW on my home router / development-server
(Cable internet connection and about 5 computers in LAN), last year I
try IPF on similar setup in our office. Few month ago I try to setup PF
on "webhosting server" and I must say "I Love PF" :o)
Which one is the best for you depends on your needs not on your skills.
All of them have man & HowTos & disccusions all over the internet.
