OpenBSD is the best choice for a firewall box. It's fast, small, secure
and runs ona myriad of platforms. I use it at home for my firewall and
have started sneaking it in at work. It's tag line is 'secure by default'
and from a base installation you won't get the same from most, if not all,
linux distros.
This is my opinion and I'm not terribly interested in a holy war.
