I recently got a WRT54GL and have played around with some of the third- party software.
DD-WRT is very versatile and stable. The stability factor is decisive for me. I do not enjoy flashing the RAM (major pain in the ass). I tried OpenWRT, but had too much trouble getting it to work--one bad flash too many. I haven't been able to get the package managers working, but am not too worried about that, with (what is it) 16MB of RAM to play with. Rather than install nano, I just learned to use vi. With DD-WRT you can get a writable file system, jffs, which is very cool. I am planning to use it to write iptables scripts. DD-WRT is great. I haven't tried Tomato.
