Hi Gustavo- As you've seen, there's no SDM support, and I'm not aware of a similar element-based tool for that platform. Cisco Security Manager might offer an option for dealing with the Firewall config if your customer has enough boxes to make the investment worthwhile. Sorry I missed responding to the management questions on the first go-round.
I can't help you much answering questions comparing the Sup32 and Sup720, I spend most of my time dealing with access routers where most IOS Firewall discussion happens. I'll second Roland's comments on the PISA acceleration of FPM, and I'll point out that the PISA doesn't add anything for stateful inspection.
