The discussion about whether packet filters really deserve the word
"firewall" applied to them goes back at least as far as mid 90's. You
can probably find flame wars with Gauntlet and Raptor Eagle/Symantec
Enterprise Firewall on one side and Firewall-1 and PIX on the other.
Anyway, with the Level-7 match or Deep Packet Inspection or whichever
buzz words you prefer, packet filters are closer in capabilities than
ever before. At the same time application level proxies are faster
than ever before. It's hard to pick a winner.
