I'm not really answering your direct question I know but technical considerations aside you're usually better off going with what you know. All things being equal OpenBSD may have a better Firewall but if you're not familair with it you risk leaving holes in your config. A properly configured iptables FW is better than a poorly configured PIX Firewall.
