the price/performance of ASA is unbeatable by FW-1 (i mean for about
8000usd you get an appliance that has no silly users limit, enough
troughput for a medium company, and supports addons like ids, vpn
accelerator at a fraction of the cost).
if you like a pretty gui for managing the firewall, cisco isn't that great.
i would go for cisco without a second thought.
