Looking for considered comparisions of firewalling on Linux and FreeBSD.
Hmm, what you should be considering is whether you want to use pf/IPF, or IPFW. If IPFW makes more sense to you, use FreeBSD. If you want to use IPF, either platform will do, but I'd still recommend FreeBSD.
I am especially interested in learning about ease of connection tracking
Like what, logging packets with the SYN bit set? IPFW gives you that easily.
and of getting packets into user space for analysis via scripts.
The BPF + tools like tcpdump, snort, and whatnot...
