What is the best fire wall? Hardware or Software.
What do you like for a cable connection.

I depends on what you want it to do. Do you understand what a firewall is
for?
I would suggest reading a bit more first as GOOGLE will direct you to the
information you need. Hardware ones in routers tend to only stop traffic
coming in. Software ones can stop traffic going out too, handy to stop
spyware and programs calling home.
Zone Alarm is good enough.

Both.

Both.

As noted in another response, they have different strengths and weaknesses.
