Hmm.. Close competition between Jetico and Commodo ...
Jetico is better in features but Commodo has edge in interface .. So if you are comfortable in setting up advanced packet based rules, Jetico is the best ..

I suggest Zone Alarm or Jetico. Both are good. Choose anyone.

I am using Zone Alarm right now. Good one. Comodo, being a free firewall, is also very good.

comodo for performance only (best in performance)
kerio for ease of use(better than comodo)
it also gives very good performance
so ill say kerio

Expert/Advanced Users: Jetico and Comodo give greater control
Knowledgeable Users: Kerio has some great features while maintaining Ease of Use
Normal User: Zone Alarm Personal cannot be beaten for its simplicity, but it lacks a few advanced features

COMODO Personal Firewall...
I was using Zone Alarm till yesteryear. But the new year brought in COMODO.

Read some reviews:

I have used Zone Alarm(ZA) as well as Comodeo Personal firewalls.
I am more happy with Comodo.
