thats a good firewall. Whichever one you choose go to Shields Up:

They can test to see how good your firewall is...

I use Zone Alarm, as well as Bit Defender on another PC in my house.
They all seem to work pretty much the same, but be sure to test with GRC like mav3rick said.

If the question pertains to a dedicated box then have a look at IPCOP. It supports plugins that can do other things like web caching, access control, etc.

If you are talking about a personal firewall have a look at Kaspersky Internet Security. Updates come regularly, better than others.
