IMHO clarkconnect has too many services on it to be considered seriously for a firewall. My recollection is that it tries to be a file server, email server, gateway, firewall, web server and many more. IPCOP I used for ages, its an OK product. I suspect pfsense is the way to go now, but I am relying on a linux based hardware router. (linksys wrt54GL with tomato). Uses less power and handles wifi as well as wired.
