Stateful Packet Inspection will definitely slow down your network. IF you have good antivirus software on your computers as well as windows firewall running, the port filter on any router will do the job.
DMZ's are generally not good since they let all traffic to the device specified. Better to do port forwarding.

Awesome. So far, so good on this... and I definitely have AV + software firewalls on each machine.
The only thing I ever DMZ is my Xbox because it doesn't always list it as an Open NAT even with UPnP and/or port forwarding on, and thus I have trouble connecting to some games.

Hopefully someone (here or elswhere) can address the issue (if any) of Xbox in a DMZ and any risk that may result. Probably none, but I have no knowledge of Xbox.
Glad everything is starting to come together!

you should put your router after the modem, then your switches- by more cat5.
not sure if your router has any QoS in it, if so set up the port your Vonage is on with secured bandwidth - your router may be supported with (dd-wrt.com) gnu firmware - It has QoS on it but keep in mind this firmware is like linux always be updated.
