Best Linux firewall for someone...

.... who hasn't really played with one yet.
I'm looking at Shorewall, mainly because even with Webmin, iptables seems sort of complex to me. What do you guys think? Stay with iptables or have a good reccomendation?

Csf is as friendly as it gets in my opinion.
The one and only CSF.
iptables if on Linux, pf if on bsd. If you find iptables hard, take a look at UFW, of https://code.google.com/p/lifs/
Vote for csf.
another fan of csf here.
Raw iptables here, but I may start using csf (never knew they supported webmin as well).
Never used it, but heard APF is good?
Stands for csf...
The C, the S & the F.
The only good firewall is a dead firewall.

raw iptables
But yeah, csf is good for newbies.
