It depends on your needs...you don't want to spend zillion dolars if you just want to do a simple filtering don't you?
if OpenBSD+IPF or Linux+IPTABLES can do it, why not?
those OpenSource OS can turn your $2000 hardware into a simple $43 box?
What you can also do if you have a Linksys router, is to disable high risk ports (for eg. trojans etc.)
