I was wondering what kind of experience the nanog userbase has had with these two packages.

Quagga++. I've never tried the other. I use Quagga for OSPF, OSPFv3 and BGP (IPv4 and IPv6). With a bit of trickery, it fits in nicely with my RANCID setup, and what I like best is that it (mostly) follows Cisco's command convention. There are also very active developer and user mailing lists. For the most part, I wouldn't know if I was writing a config for a Cisco or for a Quagga box. fwiw, I've also heard good things about bgpd(8) and ospfd(8), but I haven't tried those either...zebra/Quagga just stuck.
