While working as part of Commotion Wireless [1] (which is built upon openwrt), I wound up experimenting a lot with different tor+openwrt and tor+commotion configurations.
I've run hidden services successfully on TP-Link WDR-4300 -- they have 8mb of flash (storage), 128mb ram, and 2 usb ports. With an added flash drive it's basically a small server. For the size-conscious, you can also run a hidden service on a TP-Link 3040, but it gets a lot trickier as you only have 32mb of ram to work with. For all sorts of reasons I wouldn't recommend being a bridge/middle/exit node while running a hidden service (especially on a router, which is already extremely resource-constrained).
OpenWRT and Commotion both come with uhttpd (+cyassl), which is fine to run basic websites and distribute files. It's also built into openwrt. There's also mini-httpd, which is quite popular. But if you're already using a flash drive as a surrogate hard drive, the 12kb difference over uhttpd isn't going to really help. Of course, Apache/nginx/lighttpd are all available.
The flash and ram on Ubiquiti pico/nanostations are too low to do much of anything except run OpenWRT and act as access points. And anything that is power-over-ethernet is going to be very difficult to run a hidden service on full stop.
best, Griffin[1] I was briefly working on making a related package for openwrt but stopped because of Reasons.
