I've tried Tomato (great little firmware) at it's last release and OpenWrt a long time ago and one other one of these Thibor? I'm really happy with DD-Wrt which is a branch of the Open wrt (as is Tomato). I think DD-WRT has the most flexible of the bunch supporting the most features, though that means that it's not the fastest and maybe the slowest to update. If you're happy with what you have that's fine.

have you tried openwrt?  I finally got around to flashing a wrt54gs with openwrt and
was wondering about dd-wrt over openwrt.  Thanks.
