OpenWRT tracks upstream software as well as the desktop Linux distros do, and it's what the upstream developers use. DD-WRT and Tomato put their own web interface on things but often leave important parts of the system out of date for very long times, especially when they're being held back by proprietary drivers. If you want to make full use of the features and stability and security of modern Linux networking, OpenWRT is where to start: you know you're getting proper IPv6 support, state of the art QoS stuff many DD-WRT and Tomato devs haven't even heard of let alone understand, and a current kernel.
