I think most of the well-known brand name routers can be flashed with open firmware now and I wouldn't spend my cash on any that couldn't.
The reason for that being that a manufacturer won't put much effort into firmware maintenance once it's a couple of years old unless there's a big security hole that's likely to damage his reputation.
I'd start by browsing dd-wrt to get an idea of what's popular at the moment and any problems/complaints.
PS. I see that dd-wrt now have prominent links on their site to flashrouters.com who will sell you a Linksys, Netgear or Asus pre-flashed.
