We've been using Quagga (zebra, ospfd, ospf6d, bgpd) for quite some time
(due to CLI consistency with Cisco as someone else stated).

I don't understand how they "sound" buggy. What exactly are you
referring to? Which pieces are you concerned with?

All we did was light up a couple of Quagga boxes in the lab, and load
them up so it replicates our production environment. No problems, we
went to production. We test anything new in the lab, and then roll it
out if it is stable.

I've yet to find a bug. Every time I think I've found something, it has
come down to a simple inconsistency between how I'd do the same thing on
a Cisco IOS.

We run ~1/2 of our routers on FBSD based hardware that run from either
USB thumb stick, or CF/SD cards.

As for your OC3's:
