Tomato or DD-WRT

I've been thinking about switching from my regular firmware over to either Tomato or DD-WRT. Both look really good, just haven't decided which one to change over to. I know a lot of people on here have used both. Which do you prefer?

I'm a big(ger) fan of Tomato, specifically toastman builds.

Other than flashing it, I have no issues with DD-WRT; it gives me the flexibility to do what I want and I alot of what I don't need.... right now at least, like provisioning Vlan's. Pretty wild if you ask me

I never heard of or used Tomato so I am automatically biased

Tomato seems really good, plus it has a nice looking bandwidth monitor -

Neither...get a Mikrotik...does everything a high end Cisco router/firewall will do for about 60 bucks! I left DD-WRT for Mikrotik a year ago and have never looked back. Hell...you can even run a linux virtual machine inside of them!

It will do MPLS, OPSF, BGP, vlans...you name it! Plus full IPv6 routing/firewall support

I flashed my old Cisco Draft N router with DD RT to use as a repeater. it was straight forward.. Many Many options to tweak your router to death.

I use gargoyle-router.com which is based off openWRT. Working great so far.
