For us, We have a runlevel 0 firewall, from Debian it was developed in house, fine tuned by this article:
http://www.samag.com/documents/s=1824/sam0201d/0201d.htm
For us, this FW protects a Bioinformatics cluster, which rarely changes on the rules side of things, the benefit form our standpoint is the non-access into the machine, (No user priv escalation due to no logon) the drawback is we currently have no logging enabled. (We are working on it.
Hope that helps
