Typically we don't compete with Checkpoint FW-1 as their target 
market is  different.  As for Raptor it's an application proxy based 
firewall and has gotten the Symantec treatment since they acquire the 
product line.

There have actually been a few comparisons/reviews  done in the past 
year.  I have two of them; one from Sweden and the other from 
Denmark.  The Danish comparison included: Lucent Brick, 3Com 
Superstack Firewall, SonicWall ProVX, Symantec VelociRaptor, GB-1000 
and Watchguard Firebox 1000.  The GB-1000 was the top pick.

I tend to find the reviews outside the US are less motivated by 
advertising and corporate influence.

You can find these reviews at:
