As previously mentioned, you won't see any difference between 11b and 11g for web access since the cable link is the bottleneck. If you have a lot of internal traffic within the house you might. My IT staff says Linksys, D-Link, Netgear are all about the same.
I'm running a Netgear 11g wireless router at home. I chose the 11g over the 11b because it had an spi firewall. Coverage is great (but that's a California crackerbox with wallboard, etc. - don't know about your construction) and range is about 50 meter radius. That means security is definitely a concern. You need to enable WEP encryption and set shared mode authentication with a security key as mentioned. For additional security, enable connection only of known devices by MAC address (ie, you list the physical address of the wireless devices you will allow to connect to the router; they'll still need the security key). And don't forget to change the default administrator password for the router.
