Smile wireless-b or -g

Hello. Just recently my Belkin 4 port has been crapping out. been dropping the connection. after a 5 year, 40$ investment i think its time to upgrade. right now my current setup is

roadrunner cable ---> belkin router ---> win32 box
then i have ----------belkin router----> cat5 in ---> cat5 out ---> 5 port switch --> about 5 gentoo linux boxes

just bought a presario 1200 lappy for about $150. snagged a wireless-b adaptor for 10$ and a regular ethernet for 12$ both including shipping prices. Not too bad. nevermind the hardware though

here is my connection

anyway, that being said and reading about the different wireless routers this question comes into play

Do i go with a Wireless-B or Wireless-G router / adaptor system.

I have a couple computers id like to have wired and one lappy wireless.

Based on those connection speeds and the current routers on the market, what do i get. Im thinking linksys wireless routers. Which one though. Thanks!!!!!
