Default Which firewall do you recommend?

Go here for considerable information on firewall products:

By far the best network scurity for a home user is a
network router. Barring that however, firewalls used
consistently and correctly can greatly increase your
internet security. Zone Alarm is by far the most popular
firewall. It is extremely easy to use. And with the retail
versions it has advanced program controls. Norton firewall
is also very effective. And it will integrate nicely with
your anti-virus. However, it is not so much more complex
as more confusing to use than other firewalls.

Is the firewall that came with XP home alright to use, or

would you
recommend another firewall?
I have Norton AV 2003 installed in case this might help

giving me an answer.
Thanks in advance!
