I'm not a security or networking expert, so I'm interested to know the pros/cons of running my firewall on the HN and essentially, making my HN into my router or running the firewall on a VE and making my HN simply a hardware conduit.
Ultimately, I want to get rid of my hardware router, and move it all onto my OpenVZ machine, and behind it, I want to run multiple VE's for mail, web, etc. I believe that in the end, it might help to speed things up around my network (just a belief!)
I'm thinking that the preferred method might be to run my firewall on my HN, along with DNS, DHCP and OpenVPN services.

DHCP - HN. Because in other case yo have to use at vps not venet, but veth device. It is has less speed and less secure.
DNS - VPS.
OpenVPN. - Please check forum, I didn't use it. By the way, forum can answer on all your questions already 
Firewall. It is depends on what you want. If you will give some privileges to another admin, then vps is preferable.
If you want more restrictive configuration and you are the only one system administrator - then HN is preferable.
