Jim,

I believe I would be remiss if I didn't tell you about Vyatta as your router.  We use OpenSBC running on Vyatta, which is a router built on a customized Debian platform.  It's open source, fast, and very reliable.  OpenSBC handles all my NAT traversal to our ITSP, and I have been very happy with it.  I run it as a virtual machine on a WAN exposed hypervisor.

With pfSense I had some NAT table issues (may have been resolved since then) and had call quality issues with a Cisco ASA.  The combination of OpenSBC running on Vyatta has addressed all of our needs.
