The only question is whether you need 802.11g, or if b is sufficient. If all the access points you connect to are 802.11b, then save your money and stay with that. If you could use the extra speed of 802.11g (54mbps as opposed to 11) and you will have an 802.11g access point to connect to, then spring for the G.
