While I haven't used it much, OpenWRT isn't in the same class as 
pfsense.  In terms of function, it's closer to Cisco.  However, 
according to a book I read a while ago, some Cisco models are Linux 
powered.  One thing I miss on pfsense is the ability to run Wireshark on 
my firewall via ssh.  However, it does have a built in Packet Capture.

My pfsense firewall is running on  a Qotom mini PC, with i5 CPU, 4 GB of 
memory, 64 GB SSD and 4 Ethernet ports.  I plan on experimenting with 
OSPF on it, along with my Cisco router.
