PIX
-crappy slow JAVA interface / Dashboard is a nice RIP off of Checkpoints
-GUI is still not mature to compete heads up with Checkpoint

+price, out the door price for an entry PIX is cheap [aprox 400-500 dollars]

Checkpoint [SPLAT]

-driver support / tied to specific hardware

to contradict myself
+With the right NICs it will run fine on older x86 hardware.
+VERY stable
+Easy to install and support

As you can tell I'm a checkpoint fan / cisco should stick to what they know straight up networking :)
