Depending upon what calls of Juniper - the main difference IMHO is cost.
Are you talking gigabits of transfer ?  or ?

I hate answering a question with a question - but knowing your usage 
scenario - would help us answer the question much easier.

Both offer Intrusion Detection / Prevention.
Both will act as a high performance integrated gateway - we use PFSense 
in our datacenter and have many running as a virtual solution for 
clients as a firewall. -   Simply put - blows the competition away at a 
cost of $0.00

Both offer remote network access via VPN -

Hope that helps
