Ofcourse iptables would be the better one. It has a more thorough knowledge of connections and keeps track of them. There should be some other advantages but I don't know which :-).

Besides that..... iptables has a load more options which can protect you from floods n stuff... regards > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > I would like to add to that question.
