Yesterday I googled for "Comparison of Firewalls" and found nothing.

There are several million hits for this search phrase. Even if one puts in quotes and wants exactly that phrase, there are still 68 matches.
There you can also find hundreds of pages about Checkpoint's VPN-1, where you could learn more about, looking at your Wikipedia article.
Your chosen categories for comparison look quite ad-hoc and don't reflect requirements for firewalls in professional settings. (E.g., you know about the demand for secure and reliable central logging, clustering/VRRP, and other stuff?) I would recommend to read more of those Google hits, then you might be able to come up with a more profund categorization of firewall comparison.

If you think you can improve, you are welcome. Add a new table with features, that are "Professionally Required" and add Firewalls that you know to that table. I would try to add as well... -Fenix*NBK*.
