Hello all from what i can gather Checkpoints fw-1 has security holes like any other product ,because its the most common ,just like ("gulp") Microsoft.Usually the most popular products get the most scrutiny so thats that . A good place for info on firewall 1 is www.phoneboy.com. As far as other products I personally like the watch gaurd firebox 2 I think it does an excellent job of nat and dynamic packet filtering, Cisco pix has an awesome statefull inspection engine. I am partial to hardware based firewalls because of there , great encryption acceleration .

well thats my one and one half cents.
