I tested five or six different firewall distributions (each of them for about week or so), till I found the one that fits my needs the best: OPNsense. As this is not the place to do direct comparison, I'll try to focus on what I do (+) or not (-) like on OPNsense:
+ HardenedBSD: call me paranoid, but that is one big extra point for OPNsense.
+ OpenSSL/LibreSSL: switching ssl-library, now ain't that beautiful?
+ sshd/webinterface port: easy to modify/change (unlike some other fws)
- interface: looks good on wide-screens, but not so good on 4:3 screens
- BSD network stack: single-cpu, not able to route full 1gbit but linux can (apu4b4)
- installation: hard-coded ip 192.168.1.1 and root password: why can't I change this?
Overall I'm very satisfied. Sure there are many other solutions, but for me OPNsense is the best...

I was floundering around after M0nowall stopped being actively supported and I tried out many different open source firewall solutions including Smoothwall, pfsense untangle, ipcop and Opnsense and I have to say for me Opnsense was always the better of them all.
Less complicated to get running. More actively up to date, far better support ,the one time I reported an upgrade issue it was fixed in hours, instead of weeks of dead air.
the active community and growing set of plugin's is great too. I never had any unexpected slowdown like other talks about Iperf throughput puts it squarely where I would expect a non-hardware accelerated firewall to be placed.
