Of those two I would strongly advise the Linksys; Netgear equipment has
been terribly unreliable for me, and the sister model to the one you
specify (without the wireless) I had at a client site would lock up
every day or two.

Linksys are, in my experience, pretty bulletproof.  The WAG54GX2 we
replaced the Netgear with is a great device, and completely solid.
