I could wax long about both, since I use them on a daily basis
at multiple sites, both in simple and redundant setups (with CARP
and pfsync in the case of PF).
Traffic shaping is much easier with dummynet/ipfw than with with
altq and pf. You can mix and match pf/ipfw of course. Didn't try
with IPv6.
