want something (acording to some) more secure but less easy to use go for
fireBox. If you want ultimate security without any compromises go for
Symantec Gauntlet - regarded as the best in the industry by most experts.
You can find out more about these HW FW by going to their respective
websites. There are many models to choose, prices vary a lot (usually you
can get the box for much less than the listed price on company website).

If you want something easy to setup, it will not be free, but will cost
you
a bit. Most "hard to setup" FW are 'free' i.e. they either come with
operating system or are free add ons (like using Linux or OpenBSD. Try to
look for an appliance (otherwise known as HW firewall) - a little box
which
is designed to just do firewalling for you, they tend to be more secure,
cheaper (than say ISA on windows box) and easier to setup than FW running
on
top of a well known OS.
You may also consider picking a good book, since any firewall can live up
to
its full potential only if the sysadmin knows what he/she is doing.

Hardware or software?
If hardware, other server running a diskless OpenBSD.
If software, which OS?
