There's a brief explanation why in the handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls-apps.html I prefer pf myself, but which one to use is really down to personal preference. I'd recommend following the Handbook's advice and do a bit of reading and experimenting. I hope to get around to updating my pf tutorial soonish (see http://www.bgnett.no/~peter/pf/en/ if you're interested - or http://www.bgnett.no/~peter/pf/no/ if you prefer the Norwegian version) -- Peter N.
