vyatta has some issues, but it's ok for a router optimizied linux distro...

haven't used routeros in a while but at the time it was inoffensive,
it's not derived from a general purpose system so it's not something you
bolt additional bits on if you need them.
I actually use freebsd as a router on soekris, but I do need a general
purpose os on the system as well.
