Outpost Firewall Pro (by Agnitum) is a pretty solid firewall.

I'm currently just using my windows defender, but Zone Alarm was good before i had multiple conflicts with AVG and mcafee. i also use a hardware firewall in my router.

The best is  : several

For instance protect your windows 7 gaming pc with one of the firewall apps mentioned in other posts and secondly setup an old pc with two nics to act as a router with Linux and firewall Shorewall installed and place this pc in front of your game rig. Install webmin for easy web configuration and set inbound and outbound rules. Third your internet gateway will have a packet filter as well.

what are the pros/cons of a software firewall vs a hardware firewall?

I still use v8.5 Desktop Firewall and it has defended me well so far!!!

i really like sunbelt personal firewall.it's very straightforward and simple to deploy.i had been using ZA in the past only because newer builds tend to be a memory hog and contain buggy code:o(

For XP-Systems I can recommend McAfee Firewall Corp. 8.5.
For Vista and Win 7 I can recommend Outpost Firewall Pro.
