netscreen as a firewall is a whole lot more straightforward then 
anything the pix/asa has to offer, plus its a whole lot more closer to a 
full featured router than the pix/asa.

The webui and the cli are actually nearly equivalent AND compatible, 
meaning you can use one or the other or both at the same time, safely.

I have found the netscreens and ssg's to be very reliable, very full 
featured, go read the screenos documentation (~40mb pdf) for a better idea.

However, you should check with the SE before planning on taking full tables.

Good stuff.
