You mentioned DD-WRT. I'm a fan of OpenWRT, and would recommend their buying guide: https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/buyerguide . Although to be entirely honest it's not that great, but it may help. I choose my routers after finding out what Canada Computers has available, then looking at OpenWRT's table of supported hardware and ensuring it isn't one of the routers that requires you to crack it open to get at the JTAG headers or anything like that - ie. the OpenWRT install is easy. So look for the equivalent documentation for DD-WRT, do a lot of reading, and be particularly aware that if you get a router branded for the American market (always a possibility in Canada) that it may have the firmware locked - although OpenWRT has apparently already found a way around that for most routers. Do your reading!
I think they all need to be opened to get jtag. Now if you only need that in case you really screw up, then I think that is fine. -- Len Sorensen
