I'd echo the OpenBSD suggestion. I have a SS5 and an SS4 firewalling a 
cable connection and a DSL connection. The bandwidth limitation is not 
the firewall.

I found pf to be much easier and more intuitive than iptables on Linux, 
and easier than ipf on Solaris. Additionally, OBSD is just plain hard to 
hack.
