Had a lot of success with both DD-WRT (my preference, even tho
non-gpl, it's very easy to get installed and configure) or openwrt (or
x-wrt, which is the openwrt with the web front end included), I hear a
lot of good about Tomato as well.

So I think in terms of install you could say

DD-WRT - Easist to install and configure yet closed source and cause
of some rifts within community
Tomato - Easy to install and configure has everything you need.
x-wrt - Easy to install and may require additional packages installed
(but I don't think for EAP) Web Front end install version of Openwrt.
openwrt - easy to install, but hard to configure as you need to do
everything via command line.  But the upside is you have plenty of
flash to load stuff in.
