Don't forget about the third one, called pf. ;)
It's a hard question. What does matter is which of them is best the *for 
You*. As for me I use ipf and ipfw together. I think ipf is very easy to 
configure but ipfw has more sophisticated features, for instance it can 
be used for bandwith controlling via dummynet facility. As for pf, I 
don't know it.
