I'm sorry Josh but I really don't know that kind of tools.
I was using in the past Shorewall (uninstalled it...)
The old Mandrake Firewall (I threw the CD to the trash can...)
And some other tools... At the end I continued to use only iptables.
Some clients need a firewall for easy configuration, in that case just
googling and then setup the one that seems easiest to deal with...

/etc and some graphic toys make the difference... Linux the same and
beyond our geek feelings it is a tool, only that. How the "owner" of
the tool use it make the difference.
I think we have completely different points of view. Anyway the
important think is that it works at the end.
