I go for hardware that is openwrt compatible.  The C7 works with openwrt. I like 
hardware with lots of flash so I can run other stuff on the router as well. This 
limits you to the Netgear WNDR3700 and the WNDR4300 with 128/128 or the Buffalo 
AG300H with 32/128. Make sure you know which version (v1, v2...) you're buying 
as the manufacturers change the specs without changing the model number

I also like having a/g/n. I use the a to ship bits around the house and let 
people use the g.
