I chose it because it's light (Vista is sluggish as it is, why make it more so?) and easy to use. The extra features of, say, Comodo are ok but not must-have. A firewall protects one's PC from questionable inbound and outbound traffic; and Vista's built-in firewall and VFC are adequate for this task. A firewall shouldn't be a panacea for security, but just another layer in a security scheme. In addition, I have an antivirus (Avira) and anti-malware (Defender) running on my system. These, plus safe hex practices, should be enough for my needs. I’ve been using Vista Firewall Control ever since I upgraded to Vista.

Comodo, because you have much better control with them and they are free! I personally use Kaspersky Internet Security, which I have had no problems with at all, and it even disables windows built in firewall during the installation process!
