I am new to the topic, sorry if it is a newbie question.
 
SO (Small Office) environment, 3 workstations + one Web Server. ADSL
connection, which would be a recommended router+firewall to be used
here?

One option I am thinking of is SMC SMC7004VBR. For it is speaking
features like Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) and ability to disable
ping from WAN.

Second option is D-Link DI-604, has built in firewall with IP and URL
filtering.

I only want to leave open port 80 (HTTP) and 21 (FTP), everything else
closed. Which firewall would be better? or which other router+firewall
to think of here?
