IPFW +1. Though it does not support nat pool until now:), and I never 
used it for "keep-states".
PF is easy used, but it is hard to master for me. It's check packet 
sequnce too strict and prevnt reuse src port in extreme load if you does 
not be expert in adjust the timeouts. But pf's "scrub" and "reply-to" is 
amazing, and syntax is easy to understand.
Pfsync+pfflowd is a good idea to implement netflow/ipfix probe. I think 
it's have low overhead and better performance than ng_netflow because 
you can install a pfflowd instance on a different box. But pfflowd is 
outdated since FB 9 released.
