We use a Fortigate 200 for the general use internet access (400 users) as you can get AV, IPS and web content filtering. I must say it woks well and it's fairly cheap. But for the real work we use the Nokia IP260's with checkpoint to deploy all of our 3des VPN tunnels to remote sites. The GUI interface in Checkpoint is just so easy to configure and use. But it is expensive.
So if all you need is internet access protection than I say go with the Fortigate. If you plan on doing VPN's to remote sites and easier rule configuration then Checkpoint is the way to go.
