I'm running Netgear N600 / WNDR3800 with OpenWRT since day one. So if you (can) plan for OS before buying, you can dodge a bullet when $VENDOR stops giving f*cks. That particular box has been released in 2011! Mikrotik is good enough (tm) probably, but it's licensed/closed-source. bcantrill once mentioned that "Infrastructure software should be open-source" and I'm adhering to this mantra for 10 years now. Dodged many bullets coming my way ... (i.e. if you want to buy something, can you plan for linux/BSD OS when vendor just doesn't care anymore?)

Would like to hear ideas about Apple's airports running custom NetBSD ... are you guys still running those as edge/internet routers with wifi or have you pushed them to the inside of the network and promoted some other box to the firewall role? I'm kinda stuck in the conundrum "it's unix with PF, it can handle itself" and "it's does not get updates anymore".
