I''ll second Beacon as a good choice. Great performance and probably the
most featureful of the open-source controllers.

If you want to get hacking on stuff really fast then there is NOX which
though not as tanky as Beacon lets you write extensions in Python, which is
imo a big plus.

There is also this project which I am yet to try out but it looks
interesting:

https://github.com/trema

It seems to be the remnants of the NEC Helios controller. (which to my
knowledge was never available anywhere).
