I wanted to know what/who y'all would recommend for a small business firewall? I currently have Sonicwall, pfSense, Unifi Security Gateway, and Firewalla. Not all at one place, obviously, but throughout all of my customers. Sonicwall is my favorite, but only because I've used it the longest. However, the licensing fees are getting a little too crazy.

Which do y'all use? What's the best bang for the buck?

I'm looking at Fortinet to replace Ubiquiti gear that I inherited. I'm a cisco guy through and through but the agreements and maintenance costs are having me explore options.

Fortigate 60F and dont look back. For the money, it blows the doors off anything it competes with

I've been replacing Sonicwalls with Ubiquiti Dream Machines for the same reason.

Ubiquiti Dream Machines
You're able to buy them? I've got 6 or 7 of them currently, but been replacing with Ubiquiti Edge Routers when they go out.

Bang for the buck is going to be Fortinet as others have pointed out.
