Full discloser time. My day job is with ICSAlabs. My area is security protocols research (like setttin up the initial IPsec certification criteria), but when I visit the labs there are all those firewall products up and running.... So, yeah, I know checkpoint. I talk with the gang over in the labs about 'simple' firewalls, but there are only certain things the boss funds here. So then I have to go cheap.
While IPTABLES might be CHEAP (price) it is a very good firewall. Learn to set it up from the command line, it isn't that hard. Try the following to learn it;

Forget those GUI interfaces.
This might be best for my current needs...
