Things have recently turned a lot easier if you choose to go for appliances, Check Point released a Sizing Tool that even when is not yet generally available, allows sales contacts to enter variables such as throughput, number of network interfaces, amount of internal users, servers to publish and protect, Blades to be enabled, number of ISP links and available bandwidth on each one of them, etc. And the tool comes up with a nice report suggesting 2 or 3 appliance models and specifying the space for growth for each one of them, depending on the given scenario.
Going the open server route, I believe there is nothing like that tool yet and it is still a matter of experience on the field and comparison between existing deployments. There is something called Platform Selection Guide on the Check Point web site, but seems like they don't update the lists very often, the only parameter mentioned is throughput and is not very exact about it.
