Comodo - Never had a problem with since I installed it last year (complete opposite with Zonealarm) It's very paranoid & it will nag you everytime you install a program/update but thats how a firewall should be IMO. Better safe than sorry.

Yes, Comodo is your best bet. Windows firewall is fine except for its lack of outbound filtering [ie it doesn't block programs on your PC from 'phoning home']. If you can live without the outbound filtering, you can stick with windows fw.
