Default WHR-G125 or WRT-54GL, what would you recommend?

I need a ~50USD router to replace my aged Netgear WGR614v4. The new router must support either DD-WRT or Tomato as I need to restrict a certain bandwidth-hogging BitComet user with QoS. After researching the matter for a few hours I boiled my choices down to either the Linksys WRT-54GL or the WHR-G125/G54. ...and that's as far as I got. So I've come here looking for opinions. (Opinions on DD-WRT vs. Tomato would be appreciated as well.) Please let me know what you think.

Note: I don't give a rat's buttocks about the wireless aspect of these routers. All four of the computers currently linked to my Netgear are wired and will likely remain so. I may have need of the wireless function later...but I'm far more concerned about the wired performance.

I looked at them both online and they both appear to be fairly similar, but definitely decent...I guess I'd end up going with Linksys over the Buffalo router just because my experiences with Linksys have been pretty good. But even then, to each his own I guess.
