Cisco and checkpoint are the most popular in the corporate space. For manageability purposes (multiple firewalls, policies, etc.) checkpoint wins and its not close. I would recommend either for most situations.
There are a ton others (netscreen/juniper, symantec, watchguard). Obviously, open source is also an option. In general, some things I'd consider are: -Management needs (administration of device) -Number of users supported (outbound rules) -Number of applications supported (inbound rules) -Need for integrated functions (VPN, IDS, content filtering, etc.) I've either installed, managed, tested, or broken most of the popular products, so I'll try to field more specific questions if there are any.
