If you're savy then install open wrt on it. If you want expert mode, then install pfsense on an old PC/laptop. If you want pucker factor, then install pfsense in a VM where the host machine gets it's ip from the VM.

Why are you like this, and who hurt you??

What's a good router one can use for openWRT? I just so happen to need a new one. No expert mode for me.

I would just look at routers with the features you want and check to see if it's compatible.

Thanks! Just to be sure, the router company becomes inconsequential when I install openwrt, or am I mistaken?

As in say I buy a linksys router and install openwrt, linksys can no longer spy on my traffic, so I shouldn't worry about that, right?
