I have used openwrt and tomato. Openwrt is much like debian with a lot of useful packages and an apt get type package management. It is also actively developed and constantly improving. Tomato on the other hand has the better designed interface. The openwrt interface, luci, often leaves you hunting around trying to figure our where things are configured. But of course with both of them you can ssh in and control things from the command line. Really you can't go wrong with either one.
