If this is just a small home box you are needing a firewall for personally I like hardware firewalls, then you don't have to fuss with anything and when downloading or playing games, or streaming media you don't have to worry about packet loss and the quality of your connection going down.
Software firewalls can and will kill connection speeds because they have to filter the traffic.
I'd personally recommend getting a Linksys BEFSX41:

It's a Stateful Packet Inspection Firewall too, good stuff...

I use NOD32, but it did let a virus/irc trojan bot onto my computer and compromise my connection. I got disconnected from my isp for a couple days, and NOD32 was running on all of the computers in my house at the time with updated definitions. Had to format all the pc's in the house.

I use Eset smart security (nod with firewall).
I previously used Trend micro but when I installed Trend 2008 my pc lagged big time so I moved to Eset smart security which I find Ok. I also have SuperAntispyware installed as a spyware remover, it's best spyware software imo.
