I just bought a Linksys WRT54GL to run Tomato on. It's a nice firmware; nice UI, simple QoS options (hello, NTP priority), and some good bandwidth monitoring. Note it's important to buy the WRT54GL, not the WRT54G or GS. The L means it's the old hardware that you can flash Tomato onto.
Personally I don't like the idea of providing NTP service on home DSL with a consumer router like these. But if you're going to do it, I think the Tomato firmware is a good match. You have a fair amount of control over how the router manages NAT state. And it's possible (but I haven't verified) that if you manually forward the NTP port it'll be smart enough to not fill up any state tables at all tracking bogus NTP connections. And if it doesn't work right, you could always fix it yourself :-) I wonder how stable the clocks are on these little $60 routers? It'd be nice to run ntpd directly on the router itself.
