Both SAV and SPA are rather intrusive and resource intensive, but I
like SPA's ability to selectively prevent apps from making outbound

I hope, this is more a personal sexual preference or something like
that, because "preventing applications from making outbound network
connections" is not helpful for security.

It's helpful for my sense of well being and privacy.

Any suggestions for a software firewall with the ability to
selectively block outbound connection attempts?

Better try to configure them correctly.

Configure what properly?
