Hey guys.
After some thinking on the matter, I've come to the decision that I'll at least TRY to keep my wrt54g and get it working. However, I've heard a bunch of talk about using aftermarket firmware. I was wondering what one you guys would recommend. I've seen stuff about both Sveasoft firmwares, as well as several others. I'm in the dark as to what to go with.

Any advice?

Sveasoft - if you want a lot of features and a fruity GUI
OpenWRT - if you want even more feature but a command line interface (unix users tend to like this one)
HyperWRT - if you only want increased TX power over the stock firmware
DD-WRT - if you like the Sveasoft firmware but think the guy that runs the company is an ass (he is)

Also, if you have a version 4 unit, you're pretty much stuck with openwrt.
 
i used dd-wrt-r2 on my. no major issues yet
before that i used hyperwrt 2.0
before that i used linksys firmware

QFT Though I have a WRT54GS.

I did the same.
Linksys -- HyperRT -- DD-WRT (Whatever the newest Release is)

DD-WRT = Working Great and gives you a ton of features which helps. Upped the Transmit power from the default 20 to 80 and now all my computers/laptops get a green single. Niiice.
