The two best hardware firewalls are probably the Cisco Pix and Netscreen.
The Cisco Pix has -some- ability to limit a DoS attack, aside from the obvious (of using the firewall to drop traffic from an offending IP).
I have not personally used a netscreen, you would have to check for yourself.

Look at The SonicWall series from SonicWall also. I have heard good things about them.

SonicWall's suck really.. We had one and it would kill its self.. Cisco Pix 515 or 520 are very good. But you need to know Cisco IOS a little.

Darn thing would crash on us at least once a month. Every try and reboot a firewall if you can't get in to the network from some where else.. Not fun.. 
Netscreens are nice but i have not used them only SonicWall and now Cisco Pix.

We have a SonicWall and push a decent amount of bandwidth through it - during peak hours greater than 10Mb/sec. No problems what so ever. Granted, we have only had it for about a month. It was a snap to setup, and is very affordable compared to Cisco stuff.
For approximately $5,000 you can get a SonicWall High Availability solution (1 active firewall, 1 hot stand by) firewall setup that is rated to 190Mb/sec.
