The netscreen boxes are nice - easy to configure and monitor. The have ssh
v.1 and an ssl web interface. They are also very fast. One major drawback
is that the vpn support is currently limited to a single subnet a real
problem if you are dealing with a large network. My only experience with
the Watchgaurd boxes was with a client who had two which kept failing and
had some real routing limitations. We pulled them out, after attempting to
speak to Watchgaurd support, and put in PIXes.
