Very familar with iptables, but less so for the pix.

IMHO, they both have bad usability curves. At least the PIX is linguistically "normalized" in that someone unfamiliar with the syntax can wade through it. As far as CLI-based firewalls go, you'll be hard pressed to beat OpenBSD's PF (also available for NetBSD and FreeBSD).
