Cisco IOS, although I suppose that's mostly because of the hardware. If there was actually an option, I'd probably run bsd or linux on my routers.

I would stay away from Cisco hardware... like completely. Its crazy how much control they have. I heard a backdoor in every router for the NSA to snoop

Snowden's document dump proved that was not the case. He showed the techniques the NSA used to hack Cisco's, and it involved intercepting the physical machines being shipped. They did NOT have back doors in the machines as Cisco shipped them. (Plus some specific models with bugs that the NSA took advantage of.)
