Netfilter + Shorewall VS IPFW (on BSD) VS PF (on BSD)

Hi all,

I have to decide which firewall I should use for a computer firewall with 7 interfaces.
The firewall has only 1Gb/s link and 6 100Mb/s links and firewalling/routing should support the following:
- SNAT
- DNAT
- Several default routes, depending on source and destination.
=> I mean: all traffic from our test lab should follow a special (non-firewalled gateway), all other traffic (not from lab or to our own university) should take the other gateway. I cannot change the firewall on the gateway, I only control our own firewall.
- ...

Could some of you please give me insight in:
- functionality
- ease of use
- interfaces to configure the firewall (GUI or non-GUI)
- ...

Without starting a firewall war

Thanks in advance!
