I don't think it would make much of a difference. NAT has nothing to do with security and the firewall should be your primary defense.
Having a device provide both firewall and NAT services isn't a security risk by itself. The only potential security risk would be the software and configuration of the device. Since there are so many vendors/products on the market and questions about products is disallowed, this cannot be answered anyways.
