recommended for home use

Hi,

I'm looking to get a new firewall for home use and I've always used netgear, but I'm looking at something like the cisco 501 pix. The Cisco is quite a bit more, but I'm trying to find out why?

I'm assuming Cisco is better because *I think* they're the market leader in these devices. Is there anything that sticks out as to why a Cisco device would be better? If I do a comparison between the features, I find several netgear devices that cost less the the 501 with more features. Just to say what I've been looking at ... I've been comparing the FVS318, 124G to the PIX 501.

Is there a reason why ya'll would go cisco over other COTS firewalls?
