The Morning Star Express routers have got the finest filtering syntax
I have personally seen, and they have a flexible set of logging options
as well.  The manuals I have (version 0.something) didn't do all that
great a job describing the syntax, and I had to piece it together on
my own -- but I understand that the manual description has improved
greatly in the past few months. 

Unfortunately, the MSE is a bit of a toy, compared to a Cisco -- not even 
a power switch (again, my experience only).  But they do seem to be a bargin
for the price: around $2K, if I recall correctly. 

I've found them to be most useful to manage SLIP or PPP connections, and in 
that capacity they've been the ideal choice.
