Someone in a recent PCMag (i think it was that) was testing popular firewalls, and got more secure results from a port scanner using a cheap D-Link router than using some pay firewalls like Zone Alarm, Norton, etc. Not to say you sholdn't use a firewall, but if I had to only pick one I'd take the router/hw firewall.
