I like MikroTik too. I kind of understand the dislike some people have for MT, but on the other hand a lot of it seems to be based on misunderstandings and outdated information.

Juniper isn't too bad either.

Not much experience with "corporate firewalls" (besides MT / Juniper SRX), but having seen Fortinet, it doesn't look too great.
