another firewall question, please help

this is another of the many firewall questions, but i do need some advices.

i am launching a website that has the potential to attract more than 2000 concurrent connections and, possibly, can go up to 6 or 10 thousands within 6 months. I need a firewall that's easy to manage without me learning a totally new language such as Cisco Pix or Linux. I was looking at Netscreen 5, but 2000 limit is not good for me. and the Netscreen 5 extended has 4000 connections limits which won'd do for me. I don't know about SonicWall or WatchGuard...are they good? What are some of the models that meet my connection requirements, with some proectection against DOS or other attacks (i don't see the site being attacked, but who knows..), and under $1000? I just need something stable...I heard many good things about netscreen, but SonicWall and WatchGuard...i have heard some problems..but not sure.

Please advise.
