The units are very similar. What would make one better for you?

Just the basics of home networking. I already have a Linksys BEFSX41 router. I just want to know what experiences other people had.

I still have a Linksys BEFRS14 or such. Works fine. I added a WAP11 later and ... works fine. I picked up a Dlink 524 or such, but it didn't work right until I updated the firmware. Now it has been on 24x7 for over a month. Nothing odd to report but that firmware update is a nuisance fact that Linksys, Dlink and others should address. I feel the products should work when new out of the box and not require we fix them when we get them home.

With the models listed, I'd rank them about equal. Except for one tiny issue. Cisco bought Linksys and it appears they have outsourced their software. I am beginning to see less stable software/firmware on Linksys products. I have the Linksys video camera and it's not ready for the market...
