I think it is a moot point to discuss which standard will prevail without discussing which market place. I don't believe any single standard will become the de facto choice across the enterprise, hotpots, home, etc. My two-bit, for what it's worth, is a+g will be the standard in the enterprise and hotspots (overall higher network capacity from more # of channels), 11g will suffice for the home, and 11b will find its way into low-power embedded mobile devices.
If I'm wrong, sue me.

Anyways, g isn't finalized yet and there seems to be some issues with cross-manufacturer/chipset/etc. compatibility among g devices. For the time being, stick with a+b (a uses a less crowded band so it might be better for those who just seem to not be able to get b to work reliably). G.
