Which one has a decent firewall, does not lag your internet connection
much and is not too expensive? Must be Xbox 360 compatible too. Thanks.

What you need the firewall for? Many consumer router firewalls mainly
protect the router itself and only have very few options to actually
filter traffic from and to the LAN. The main protection of the LAN is
usually due to NAT and for that you usually can only turn it on and
off and set port forwardings into your LAN in various forms
(forwarding, triggering, DMZ, etc.)
