Pix 506E or Netscreen 5GT?



I need to replace the firewall on a small network (~15 users) and I've
narrowed the choices down to two: the PIX 506E and the Netscreen 5GT.

Which is the better choice for this application? I noticed that the 5GT
has an extended mode varient which supports three interfaces, while the
PIX is restricted to two. I'd like to move my public servers off onto a
DMZ, but this isn't critical. (As an aside, it seems like there is a
big gap in the PIX product line between the 506E and the 515E--is Cisco
planning on filling it with a new model that supports three interfaces
anytime soon?)

How is Juniper tech support? I've heard that Cisco's is excellent, but
Juniper's isn't so good.
