The one you code yourself. : )

Actually though, APF is nice but it's too bulky for me. KISS is nice because it's one script.

Is this to protect a network or a just one machine?

Single Machine - Iptables

Network - Smoothwall (www.smoothwall.org)

i like using iptables and apf.. apf is very secure and i kno the guy who made it. To enable iptables usually you have to disable ipchains.
