Default Best Firewall/AntiVirus Software

Currently my typical setup on any PC includes: Avast Home Edition (free) and ZoneAlarm firewall (free).

Is there anything better out there? I have recently heard of Comodo firewall and Comodo AntiVirus, but is there anything else out there that is better?

How would you rate ZoneAlarm to Comodo and others, vice versa? Thanks!

I would advise Kaspersky Internet Security, just because it is ensures complex protection and provided your machine is not an old one, it does not degrade the computer performance. I understand it is not a free solution, but it is not the most expensive either. If you look for reviews of KIS, you'll find good ones among independent reviewers.
