Coming from BSD/OS, IPFW was my natural choice. Have been using it for
many, many years.
But, as it turns our, for many years, it has an problem with table
manipulation, that wasn't fixed, so for these applications I switched to PF.
I still prefer the IPFW style configuration and management though.
