You can't go wrong as far as throughput performance for Checkpoint and PA.
 In my opinion PA is the better long term solution.  I have had more than
one occasion where I have found solutions to open trouble tickets before
Checkpoint engineers, which irritated me to say the least.  PA has more of a
forward thinking strategy in terms of architecture and willingness to
establish itself as the premier second generation firewall.
