I like the Ubiquiti Edgerouters. I have used them in both commercial 
applications at work as well as home applications. They can be accessed via 
either shell or GUI, per your preference. 

I have had many running in commercial applications for close to 5 years. The 
OS firmware is easily upgradeable, router setups are easily saved and restored, 
and Ubiquiti has great support. If you have multiple units, they can also be 
centrally managed. Best of all, they are inexpensive.

I have personally used ERLite-3s, ER-8s, and ER-8Pros. All seem to work well.

Cheers,
