Router or no router, or 1 nic, 2 nic

When we originally set up SBS 2003, we where using 1 nic for the server
using a VPN pass through on our Linksys wrt55ag router for VPN. Then
plugging the cable modem into the internet rj45 port on the router.
After numerous problems getting the vpn to work, we finally figured out
that the vpn pass-through on the router was not functioning (Linksys is
sending us a replacement router). In the meantime we added another nic
card to the server dedicating one of the nics as internal and one
external. My question to you folks is this; Which is a better
scenario, using the modem as a firewall as in the 1 nic scenario, or 2
plugging the external nic directly into the modem forcing the SBS 2003
server to act as its own firewall. Comments? Suggestions?
