Hardware Planning
Match the mission of the machine to its physical hardware and the OS. (No Win95 firewalls here...)
Determine whether the machine is to be a multi function host or a bastion host.
I personally prefer a bastion host configuration, where each host has a specific function, however, many home setups do not have enough machines to make this possible. It is critically important to make sure that the firewall is a bastion host.
