I've got a soft spot for Mikrotik's RouterBoard hardware, mostly from a previous job where their hardware and software ran pretty much the whole network. A five-port router, Gigabit ports, including their software (a modified Linux with a decent Windows GUI), for sixty dollars, is a pretty good bargain.
The hardware is a fairly standard MIPS-BE board; I've never done so, but you could probably put your own favorite embedded OS on there, in lieu of their version of Linux.

What I have found so far has been very non-satisfactory. I like the various whitebox options that run pfsense. I've used both Hacom and Soekris. General differences are Hacom cost more, have more powerful hardware, and easier to install pfsense images. Soekris installations are more temperamental/restrictive, but the hardware costs less.
