Jonathan, You can try WatchGuard SOHO products (www.watchguard.com). Their SOHO firewall is very easy to configure with a very nice interface, all web based, goes up to 25 users and, most important, it really gets the job done.
Also, WatchGuard keeps you updated with security patches for their products and news to inform you of the most recent security threats worldwide. The price is very good too - below $1,000.
