Firewall for VPS

What is the best firewall you would recommend to install on a CentOS 5 VPS with cPanel for hosting?

Any Ideas?

I like to install CSF on all my servers. Check out this link for a tutorial on how to do it and test it out. CSF Install Guide - How To

CSF is pretty good. I am with The Planet currently so I use their cisco guard.

My personal servers all have CSF on them. I have been very happy with it

Always +1 for the CSF

IP tables comes with the linux itself right? Is the CSF better than that?

IPTables is provided with the LKF (Linux Kernel Firewall) and works great with CSF. I really like CSF.

Another happy CSF user here. I have it on all my servers. I'm also a fan of their CXS exploit scanner (although it is not free!)

Actually, CSF is using iptables :-) after all, CSF is only an iptables firewall configuration.
