Honestly... i think tomato is a lot bettter that ddwrt.. I'm not a networking genius by any streth of the imagination, but from a functional perspective i have to reboot the unit far less than i ever did with stock or DDWRT FW. I loaded it up first about 10 months ago, and haven't spend much effort on ddwrt since. ddwrt feels like a re-skin with a few extra features... tomato is just a whole lot better UI and admin console. graphing and charting of BW usage is excellent as well... i keep track of my BW uage on NVRAM in the routers. it keeps daily/monthly/year totals that stay after reboots/upgrades. if you haven't tried it, i highly recomment it. make sure you read up about the passwords... doing a full hard reset before flashing is advisable and validate the default password before you go tomato. Good Luck!
