I have nothing but GREAT things to say about the ZyXEL brand of wireless. Brands aside, I would take a good look at his usage. it might be a good idea to get some 900mhz bridges or some DSL bridges to get from hotspot to hotspot. 900MHz can go through trees, where 2.4 and 5.2 is blocked almost completely by trees.
You should also look into mounting antenna's between the buildings for better reception.
