Well I would say it's very questionable if so called "hardware routers"
running with software aswell are much better. They probably have bugs
aswell and often it's not easy to upgrade them.

As always a "firewall" is the whole construct with portfilters and
users who know on wich "Install this cool Dialer button" they should
klick and on which not. Ah and a system wich receives regular vendor
patches is a part of the whole, too.
