I've used the Soekris 4801 before running M0n0wall with great success. http://www.soekris.com/net4801.htm. Never had an issue with 4 units running for over 2 years. M0n0 was originally designed for these boards. You don't say if you need wireless or not, but if you do, I've reflashed Buffalo routers with wrt, which have also done very well performance wise. Thouroghly tested with 3 teenagers maxing out my cable connection. :)
