Well, the title speaks for itself

Good question.

• Workstation is a standalone computer like laptop or desktop which basically has a single network connection and the goal is to protect the computer from that one network. That network is usually a connection to to the internet typically via some other network (campus, cafe, hotel, your own internal LAN etc).
• Firewall is a server which is in between 2 networks (e.g. the internet and internal LAN) and it routes (or NAT's) between the 2 networks. The goal here is to protect both the Firewall server as well as the LAN from the internet. This can also forward services to other internal servers on your LAN - such as web server or mail server. It will also NAT the LAN client computers to the internet.

So if you have a standalone computer then the Workstation is all you need.

If you're looking to protect and entire LAN network then the Firewall is the one to use. The Firewall has a lot more to do obviously: e.g. protect the LAN as well as itself, NAT all the LAN computers to the internet, redirect various services to the servers running somewhere on the LAN and so on.

Hope that helps clarify.
