Iron router is there for all your routing needs whether on client or on server. It has all the standard features which you can use in any kind of application. You can use any middleware on server or check for user logged in before each route access. It is tightly coupled with blaze templating language so if you are using blaze as templating language in your meteor project then iron router is best bet. Only con which I come across is no reactiveness in route.

meteor add iron:router
Git: https://github.com/iron-meteor/iron-routerIf you need package only for client side routing then flow router should be your first choice because of its reactiveness on route.
