WHR-HP-G54, Tomato or DD-WRT?

I ordered the Buffalo G54 the other day, and was wondering what firmware you guys prefer for this router. Tomato or DD-WRT? Please include reasons why. From what I've read I'm leaning towards Tomato for this model.
I hope I made a good choice for a router until N is finalized, I had a hard time choosing between the Asus V2 and this one. I got less ram but supposedly a lot better radio, for my uses 16MB of RAM should be fine. It's amazing how much good press is out there for this Buffalo, seems to be the defacto standard for a 802.11G / 100mbit home router. That's all I wanted, the most solid G router out there that will max out the 100mbit switch and the wifi. I'm hoping if I now choose the right firmware for it it can be even better.

Thanks in advance
 
If you do not want the extra features of the 3rd party firmware leave it as is Buffalo firmware is good and stable.

Otherwise it does not really matter I have units with DD-WRT and Tomato, functioning wise I do not see any difference.

Tomato is easy to install, DD-WRT has more features and better controls.
 
Regarding QoS, I've read that Tomato's functions better than DD-WRT's. Can anyone confirm or deny this? For me QoS would be an important feature.

QFT!

I prefer tomato because it is less complex and I don't need the extras DD-WRT adds.
 
I've had some stability with DD-WRT releases. I prefer the stability and simplicity of tomato. I think its down to personal preference really, the issues I may have encountered with DD-WRT doesn't necessarily translate into problems that you will have.
