In a simple office (one server, one internet connection, 10 clients) I
use arno-iptables. In another network I have 3 firewalls managed with
FWBuilder (protecting 75 servers reachable on the internet). What
software you use depends on your demand. You already got some
suggestions ;-).
The firewalls do not have a high hardware demand. Normal 19" servers
with 1 GB Ram or up and a good modern CPU does the job. But you should
use good  hardware! ( I mean not the cheap one! Invest some money in
the right hardware and you run your router for a long time!)
