I use Draytek Vigor 2820's these days. Mostly (when not having something 
more "corporate" or dealing with geeks who want a Linux based one) Built 
in hardware assist VPN too. They do have a SIP ALG, but it's turned off by 
default (the earlier ones had it turned on) Port forwarding works as you'd 
expect it to, and the traffic shaping is better than no traffic shaping.
