I'm using ipfw and I'am very happy with that. You can do almost everything with that. If you want to use traffic shaper from dummynet remember, that only ipfw supports that. I don't know, if divert is supported by ipf to. And divert sockets can be very useful tool. I tried few times to configure my firewall on ipf, but every time I have returned to ipfw. Maybe because it's the one I know very well... It's will be nice to me hear something intresting about ipf advantages. I'm using ipfw. But which one you'll choose it's very your decision.
