Gilles, as a reseller of both Netscreen and Sidewinder, I would advise you as I advise all our potential customers. If you are planning to open inbound ports from the Internet to your internal network (or a DMZ) for almost any common service, HTTP, FTP etc. Then chose Sidewinder it is an application level proxy Firewall, which is the most secure currently available.
If you are planning to only provide outbound services (with the exception of e-mail). Then it's your call, Netscreen will do the job quite adequately, it is a stateful packet inspection Firewall which should be fine for outbound stuff.
