Hardware firewall advise - D-Link DIR-330 and Linksys

Hi all, I want to buy a hardware firewall with very good security. I'm a single user with 1 pc, 1 wireless laptop, and possibly doing testing with a Web, Ftp server, but that's the lowest of my priorities (if I ever get the time to play with that).

I'm currently undecided between D-Link and Linksys. Linksys' Website is quite confusing.

I have picked the D-Link DIR-330 , which has SPI, WiFi, and VPN ($170).

Does any one recommend something similar from Linksys? Or is my D-Link selection OK? Or any other brands or suggestions?

Also I saw on the D-Link site they are selling the VPN software for $50? Can I use any other software (possible free)? I have not used VPN before, but I do understand I'll need it to connect remotely (which I don't do regularly).

Thanks for your advise!
