Recommend Firewall Solution?

I'm doing some research to replace my existing firewall solution (home grown FreeBSD box using IPF in transparent bridged mode)

I'm looking at the following solutions:

Watchguard Firebox X500 : http://www.watchguard.com/products/x500.asp
Sonicwall Pro 2040 : http://www.sonicwall.com/products/pro2040.html

Or a homegrown setup with a 1U chassis runnning one of the following:
Smoothwall: www.smoothwall.org
IPCop: www.ipcop.org


My current setup and needs are as such:

{Internet} -> [Firewall] -> [Switch] -> (Servers)

I have about 8-9 servers that will sit behind the firewall, with 4-5 subnet/ip ranges. All of the IP's are on a vlan to my port in my rack. So any IP can be assigned to any server in my rack.


Any comments/suggestions?
